I developed Australia Can Afford the NDIS to challenge the myth that supporting people with disabilities is “too expensive.”
The NDIS is making lifechanging improvements to the lives of many, many Australians. It’s not perfect – but it is absolutely worth preserving and improving.
Australia issues its own currency – so we can always afford to fund the NDIS. The real question is not whether we have the dollars for the NDIS. It’s whether and how we find the people power to make it work.‘
This project exists to make that the truth about money impossible to ignore. Through simple, evidence-based explanations of how our monetary system works, Australia Can Afford the NDIS shows that affordability is no barrier – political will is
We can choose inclusion, dignity, and care for disabled people without anyone else having to take a step back.
