The Apoio Pulse – Issue 43
The National Review Unveiling: A Spotlight on Shared Commitment
Great news! Yesterday, the official national review document took centre stage, bringing with it a wave of possibilities and opportunities for positive change. At Apoio, we're eager to share in the journey and continue our collective commitment to the disability community.
Amidst this spotlight moment, we're aware that there has been a whirlwind of discussions within the industry, especially in the last 24 hours since the report dropped. While some comments may lean towards the negative or veer into scaremongering, we firmly believe in focusing on the positive aspects of the services and NDIS ideals that truly benefit and uplift.
Quoting the NDIS, "To the disability community, we want to be clear these reforms are for you." Your instrumental role in shaping this Review and your extraordinary engagement have set the stage for the next phase of this incredible journey in world-leading reform.
As emphasised by the NDIS, every person with a disability, every family member, every carer, every disability service provider, every worker, and every government is a custodian of the NDIS. Together, we must unite to realise the promise of making every Australian count.
Acknowledging the recent discussions, we encourage a positive perspective and a focus on advocating for services and NDIS ideals that genuinely benefit and align with our shared goals.
Reflecting on the united efforts of the disability sector, governments, and political parties that gave Australia the NDIS, the call to action is clear: "Now, more than ever, we need to Work together to deliver the NDIS."
The road ahead may be long, but with your dedication and our collective commitment, we are confident in overcoming challenges and celebrating victories together. Let's embrace this journey with patience, resilience, and a shared vision for a brighter future for people with disabilities and their families today and for generations to come.
We, at Apoio, extend our gratitude for your continued support and look forward to navigating this transformative path together.
