Moriac man Liam McGarrigle battles NDIA in test case over taxi funding
Liam McGarrigle’s taxis to work at a disability program cost nearly $16,000 a year, which the NDIA has agreed to partly fund. A fight for full funding has been taken to the Federal Court on Mr McGarrigle’s behalf by Victoria Legal Aid.
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal initially supported NDIA’s position that it would pay 75 per cent of the 21-tyear-old’s taxi fares but VLA successfully sought to have the decision revisited.
