The changes, set to take effect tomorrow, target the elimination of certain therapies, lifestyle purchases, and services that should be covered by other government systems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Notably, the list explicitly rules out funding for drugs, alcohol, sexual services, rent, food and holidays. Lifestyle \u201ctreatments\u201d such as tarot card readings, reiki, cuddle therapy, and wilderness therapy are also banned, along with mainstream services such as homeschooling and prescription drugs available through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAt long last, there will now be a central list of what NDIS participants can spend their money on and what they can\u2019t spend their money on,\u201d Shorten said today.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe don\u2019t pay for the rent, rental bonds, home deposits, mortgages. We do not pay for donations, tithes, gifts or political contributions. We do not pay for fines, penalties or court-ordered amounts. We do not pay for spa baths, saunas, steam rooms.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe don\u2019t pay for groceries in the ordinary course of events. We don\u2019t support a range of therapies from tarot cards, clairvoyance, wilderness therapy, cuddle therapy.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Melba Acting CEO Melissa Webster said while she supported the decision to remove a number of the items listed, it was vital that people with disability had access to the supports and services they needed and that they were funded where needed. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;It&#8217;s important that people are not disadvantaged due to their disability,&#8221; she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;Animal therapy, for example, when conducted via a qualified allied health professional, can help enormously with instances of trauma.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The reforms follow a Senate estimates session earlier this year, where concerns were raised about dodgy providers exploiting the system. Some providers had reportedly encouraged participants to withdraw cash for illicit drugs or use NDIS funds for vacations. Shorten emphasised that such abuses would no longer be possible under the new guidelines.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;We&#8217;re just being really clear that this scheme is going to be run properly, transparently, in the best interest of participants,&#8221; Shorten said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Among the banned therapies are shamanic healing, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, sound therapy and animal therapy, while more mainstream services such as ambulance services and &#8220;hospital in the home&#8221; care are also excluded.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Shorten underscored that the NDIS should not be a substitute for other taxpayer-funded systems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe NDIS is not going to pay for home-schooling. We\u2019re not going to pay for the stuff which the school system is meant to do,\u201d he said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019re not going to pay for prescription drugs you can get on the [Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme].

Shorten added that longer NDIS plans, lasting up to five years with capped budgets, will be introduced in the future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These changes are part of a broader effort to curb the NDIS\u2019s rising costs, which had been projected to reach $100 billion within a decade. The government estimates the reforms will save taxpayers $14 billion over four years.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The new list was made possible under laws passed in August, marking the beginning of a series of reforms that aim to reshape the NDIS for future generations.<\/span><span
