The NDIA originally estimated its staffing level would be 10,595 by 2018-19. But the Morrison government has imposed a staffing cap of 4,000 employees. As a result, participants are missing out on the support they need and $430 million was spent on consultants and contractors in 2018 alone. When will the Morrison government unshackle the NDIS by lifting this artificial staffing cap?
