Petitions to raise DSP and make NDIS more accessible for people with severe mental health conditions

Petitions to raise DSP and make NDIS more accessible for people with severe mental health conditions

https://www.change.org/make-ndis-accessible-for-people-with-mental-health-conditions

People with serious, long-term mental health conditions are being left behind by a system meant to support all Australians with disabilities. It's time to reform the NDIS to make it more accessible, compassionate, and fair.

https://www.change.org/raise-the-dsp

The current DSP rate is below the poverty line. The income threshold is too low, and the partner income test leaves people subject to financial abuse. It traps people in poverty.

Please consider signing these petitions & sharing your personal stories under the comments section to support these causes. Thank you!

This would be great, unfortunately it's highly unlikely they would make the process any easier or more streamlined. It is extremely difficult to get on purpose.
