“The NDIS was never intended to replace all services that state and territory governments provide for people with disability, nor does it remove state and territory responsibility for providing disability support for people … who are not eligible for the NDIS,” a spokesman said.
The National Disability Agreement has been in place for a decade and sets out the roles and responsibilities for disability services between the different levels of government.
But disability advocates say it has resulted in the closure of many state-based services, leaving people stranded without support.
“People with disability are sick of the gaps in services, programs and infrastructure delivered by different levels of government,” People with Disability Australia chief executive Therese Sands said.
“[They] tell us every day about how this is impacting on their lives – they are missing out on essential services, facing barriers to employment, transport, housing, education and health and getting stuck between different levels of governments who are passing the buck.”
