The NDIS – already launched in other parts of Australia – is set to arrive in Wagga in June 2017. In the lead-up, industry experts are currently debating the role of carers in the transformed system.

“I think the biggest concern will be what happens to carers in an emergency or crisis situation,” Intereach Wagga manager Deborah Russell said.

Ms Russell said while there was still a need for fine tuning of the NDIS ahead of its arrival, the shift to a new funding model had the overwhelming support of the industry.
