Change Agents: Rhonda Galbally and Bruce Bonyhady on the birth of the NDIS
This is the first program in a new podcast series, Change Agents. It will focus on examples of ordinary people who have brought about profound social, political, cultural and political change, celebrating their success and explaining how they did it.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the biggest social reform in Australia this century. By 2022 it will help half a million people access comprehensive disability support at a cost of around A$25 billion.
On this program, two of the NDIS’ founders explain how they developed something so radical and comprehensive and then won support for the idea. Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman and Rhonda Galbally is a board member of the National Disability Insurance Agency, the body that implements the NDIS.
