Show Notes
Australians on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) experience significant improvements in work and health after joining, according to a new study. Participants work nearly two hours more each week, earn an extra seventy-six dollars every two weeks within four years, and report higher energy levels. This leads to fewer people relying on JobSeeker payments and more shifting to the Disability Support Pension. The NDIS, started in 2013, aims to boost economic and social participation for those with severe disabilities. Researchers found that workforce participation jumps five percentage points, mainly driven by better vitality scores. While the scheme likely aids the turnaround through its services, experts note that it doesnt prove direct cause. As costs stabilize, the focus remains on helping those who need it most.
