Report on disability advocacy, representative and information organisations
The issue of ongoing funding for disability advocacy and information organisations in NSW has been the subject of public, and more recently parliamentary, debate. Since the full-roll out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in NSW the operating environment for these organisations has changed dramatically. Between May and July 2019 NCOSS conducted a small research project that collected information from 34 disability advocacy and information organisations. The research focussed on the experiences of these organisations; the changes since the end of previous block funding for specialist disability services and the full roll out of the NDIS, and their plans for the future.
