On 9 October 2024, CYDA launched a survey to gather feedback from young people with disability, parents, and caregivers about the government’s proposed Foundational Supports.
These specific supports aim to address the gap between mainstream or community and NDIS supports.
Over three weeks, CYDA received 258 responses responses, many of which spoke of widespread anxiety and confusion about Foundational Supports.
Nearly all respondents (93%) said they did not have enough information to understand how they would be impacted, while nearly one in two were worried.
Many were also concerned that Foundational Supports:
- would replace NDIS supports.
- would not adequately address diverse needs.
- would not be practical or useful.
