The concept of a National Disability Insurance Scheme was once an aspiration – people dreamed of targeted support, better coordination and better access to services and, ultimately, those dreams came true. But this is the real world, a place where good intentions are beset by challenges and where there is no magic wand, only grit and determination.

Change on such a scale will always cause ripples, if not tidal waves. It would be easy for Not for Profit providers to panic – to forecast doom. But the sector has been given a new impetus and it’s critical that even really difficult issues, such as payments from the NDIS portal, are not allowed to muddy the waters.
