South Australia stands at a critical juncture for achieving its commitments to people with disability.
The convergence of major reform agendas, including the implementation of Disability Royal Commission (DRC) recommendations, changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and the rollout of Thriving Kids and other Foundational Supports, is reshaping how people access services, exercise rights, and participate in community life.
These reforms present both an opportunity and a risk. Without targeted investment and clear policy direction, existing gaps will widen, unmet need will increase, and the rights, safety, and inclusion of people with disability will be set back further.
