NDIS & Aged Care Reform

Following the release of the Productivity Commission’s Disability Care and Support report in July 2011, which recommended that people who acquire a disability at the age of 65 years old or over should be excluded from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the Foundation has continued to campaign for the removal of this age limit and better low vision aids and technology funding in aged care programs to support older Australians.
