Richelle Alcock has numerous serious health conditions which leave her wheelchair-bound. She relies on an electric wheelchair to give her the independence to attend TAFE. Ms Alcock was left waiting 21 months from the time she requested a customised wheelchair more suitable for her needs, only for it to be denied. The government has underspent on the NDIS, which is why people like Richelle are missing out. How is this acceptable?
