The coalition are committed to delivering the NDIS in full. The priority of the government is to ensure that the scheme is as effective and efficient as it can be, and that is to ensure that the support gets to the people who need it. We are determined to ensure that the NDIS is here to stay and that its foundations are strong and financially sustainable. It is important that we ensure that Australians with disability are not left wondering whether a reform of this magnitude is able to stand the test of time. We need to give them certainty that the services provided to them under the NDIS are here to stay. That is what everything this government does in relation to the NDIS is about. I hope that those opposite will participate in the parliamentary NDIS committee in the way it was intended and put partisanship aside to help identify issues, to help identify solutions and to see that the NDIS is the best that it can be.
