More DescriptionAlmost 400 stakeholders partnered with us to identify current barriers to applying for NDIS support.They then engaged with us to develop seven key, lived experience informed, recommendations toaddress those barriers. These seven practical action-oriented recommendations need urgentimplementation to enable the people living with psychosocial disability who are most disadvantagedand most in need of NDIS support to be able to apply for that support. The feasibility and value ofeach of these recommendations is evidenced by them being raised across numerous previous nationalNDIS-focused reports including for example, the Tune Review and the 'Mind the Gap' report. Today,stakeholders are asking for more than policymakers' awareness of the barriers that deny much neededNDIS access - although these too are re-iterated and further detailed within this report. Stakeholderscall for immediate investment in these practical actions to 'break down barriers' to accessing NDISsupport and by doing so, improve the lives of many Australians living with psychosocial disability.
