National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants say the scheme is tying them up in unnecessary red tape and repetitive paperwork. Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVE Read more here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-05/ndis-bureaucracy-red-tape/102299606

Participants often need to gather lengthy reports from allied health professionals when they need new support or equipment or their plan is reviewed.

Amid ongoing discussion about how to make the scheme more efficient, advocates are saying cutting this red tape would be a good place to start.

The government last week announced it would implement an annual growth target of 8 per cent for the scheme by 2026 to rein in costs.

The NDIS has been forecast to grow by up to 14 per cent over the next few years. Under its current trajectory, the annual cost is set to reach $97 billion by 2032-33.
