NDIS Policy Reform and Advocacy for Inclusive Communities

NDIS Policy Reform and Advocacy for Inclusive Communities.

Disability advocates are calling on the federal government to expand proposed hate speech laws to protect people with disability, alongside LGBTQ+ Australians explicitly. The push follows concerns that current reforms focus narrowly on incitement to violence, overlooking the broader impacts of serious vilification.

For many NDIS participants, sustained harassment and demeaning rhetoric can restrict access to services, public spaces and employment, while contributing to psychological harm and social exclusion. Advocacy groups argue that stronger legislative protections are essential to support safe participation and uphold the rights of people with disability.

As draft legislation is developed, consultation with disability organisations is expected to inform how protections are applied in practice. For the NDIS sector, the debate highlights the growing link between policy reform, inclusion and participant wellbeing.

Organisations such as CareVision continue to support informed advocacy and sector awareness, helping translate policy discussions into meaningful protections for people with disability. Visit the CareVision website for more information.
