To the Editor: The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is one of the largest health reforms in Australia’s history.1 The scheme aims to give people with a disability choice and control over their daily lives.2 It is designed to operate as nationwide disability “markets” from which services can be “purchased”.2 NDIS participants are allocated a budget from which they purchase the services they require.
