About this listen
As the year winds to an end, kids with autism and developmental delay face an uncertain future.
Back in August, the government revealed plans to kick them off the NDIS – announcing a new scheme called Thriving Kids, set to kick off next year.
The health minister, Mark Butler, said it would give kids better support – and go some way towards curbing the billions being spent on the NDIS.
But months on, the government still hasn’t reached a deal with the states on how the scheme will be funded – despite threatening to withhold their hospital funding until they agree.
Today, journalist Rick Morton on the fight over the future of Thriving Kids – and what the government is really doing to the NDIS.
