The NDIS minister is confident proposed overhauls of the scheme will pass parliament within weeks despite fears from the disability community the process is being rushed.
Attempts to reduce the annual cost of the $56 billion National Disability Insurance Scheme will seek to move 160,000 people onto other yet-to-be-built supports run by states and territories.
As the final day of a senate inquiry into the changes gets under way, NDIS Minister Mark Butler dismissed calls for an extension to the hearings following concern from disability groups.
He said the changes were on track to pass parliament by the beginning of July.
"We're confident that the timeline that we've set out, the need to get this bill through the parliament as quickly as possible before the winter break, is the right plan," he told reporters in Sydney on Thursday.
