- Minister Mark Butler stated that NDIS is unsuitable for many children with autism or developmental delays.
- The Thriving Kids program will begin in July 2026 within schools and childcare, fully rolling out by 2027.
- NDIS’s annual growth rate will be reduced from 10.2% to a maximum of 5-6% to ease budget pressures.
- The new approach will integrate existing community services, offering more coordinated support than the current individualized NDIS plans.
There is no such thing as ‘mild autism’ when you are the autistic child living with the daily toll of masking, anxiety, exhaustion and exclusion.— Katie Koullas, who heads up autism charity Yellow Ladybugs and parents an autistic child supported by the NDIS, responds to Mark Butler's comments.
