The #NDIS. It's a support system for Australians with disabilities that, if it were functioning correctly, not only improves our quality of life, but also our ability to do our jobs. As a parents, family members, and in the workforce.

NDIS cuts that penalise #disabled people also restrict our ability to add our valuable contributions. They cost our country. Penalise providers, not participants. They're the ones committing the fraud.

I have a disabling condition called #MECFS. In Australia, the treatment that is recommended for this condition - Graded Exercise Therapy - is something that is scientifically KNOWN to make the condition worse.

Providers who have built Graded Exercise Therapy clinics and make money off them are also the ones who claim to be the experts on ME/CFS. They inform the #NDIA which treatments are best. I haven't been able to access the #NDIS because I can't do something that will cause me to become worse.
