SILosophy - Episode 30: SIL reform from a participants perspective
2:03

I guess I'm wondering, from a participant perspective and a worker perspective, how what is it like for you being on the front line are you aware of all that noise has it is it impacting you at work is it impacting you know your mental health is there any other kind of side uh byproducts of being a participant and a worker in the team with so much change happening

Like for my NDIS plan, I have had major cuts, a lot more restrictions on things.
R
2:40Ryan SimonGUEST
I've had to go for multiple replannings of my plan, being cut to quarterly as well.

2:47Ryan SimonGUEST
So I guess from all the new changes to certain diagnoses don't get you on the NDIS anymore.
R
2:56Ryan SimonGUEST
um it is quite scary because you know i never know if i'm next so um it is quite scary from you know a client perspective because you know there's all these um little things in your plan that you have to be really careful of like one thing is with your consumables budget if you ask for an ipad and you get the ipad and it shows you know it doesn't fix your autism but you know um you know it helps your autism they're going to majorly cut your plan because now you've used your continual budget, you don't need the NDIS or you don't need your core funding anymore.

Tanya GomezHOST
Is that how you understand it, that things will still be covered, it'll just look a little bit different or be called something different?
