FED:'No agreement': states take aim at Labor over NDIS cuts

People relying on the NDIS will be left without access to crucial services or end up in places unable to meet their needs under a planned overhaul, state and territory disability ministers warn.

In a damning submission made on the final day of a parliamentary inquiry reviewing the National Disability Insurance Scheme reforms, the ministers took aim at the federal Labor government.

They warn limiting the expanding NDIS costs is important, but not at the expense of people's wellbeing.

"States and territories are not in a position, and have made no agreement, to deliver like-for-like services to people who are exited from the NDIS," they said.

Without broader improvements across the disability support system, there was a significant risk people with disability would end up in hospitals or other inappropriate settings "or have no access to services at all", the ministers said.
