NDIS stories next.
Jordie, I never want to imagine Trump doing anything, except being dead. You are never allowed to tell me to imagine him doing anything ever again.
My next door neighbour was declined a disability scooter because of his dimentia, so he just drives his car instead. 🤔
That is so utterly fucked.
Dementia*
Surely you would be able to make an argument with someone and get the scooter
The classic NDIS experience
Yeah Im trying to convince my father its not a good idea to drive anymore with his dementia getting worse, his current living situation is not ideal either waiting on NDIS to approve a change of circumstance to try and get SIL housing the whole process has been a nightmare.
I used to think NDIS was a crime series. Probably because of my disability.
Wait are you telling me that it also isn't a handheld gaming console?
@@Walshy8113lol
The worst part, is you're one initial off there...
Honest to god, I was the same
This joke is genuinely brilliant
ScoMo shit himself at maccas 27 years ago today
Time flies, seems like only yesterday.
Good to know. Very important information that I’ll for some reason go tell all my American friends at work. It’s like if Trump shat himself at a Maccas
thank you. almost forgot
And the Sharks just beat the Cowboys.
how come we didn't hear about THAT in the Maccas horror stories and confess your sins?
As someone who works in the industry, So much of my job is getting bits of paper signed and I am supposed to be "Support" but it's all so full of BS from political think tanks creating excessive paperwork that the Admin consumes a disproportionate amount of time. I keep meeting people in dire situations unrelated to my occupation and they have no help from the NDIS, some have a disability pension but never had any help with their funding etc... Leading to some awful circumstances that would have been avoidable with earlier intervention. A significant amount of service providers are stealing from clients. I know this for a fact. Like if you want him to do a video on "Disinformation" Laws.
(Disability Team Leader) Yeah, it's f'd to put it bluntly.
I’m a client I know it first hand, and have heard much more - first hand.
"Like this" no
are you a coordinator too? I just had an ndis planner say "why can't your teen daughter just share her room with one of them" in reference to a mother asking for funding so her adult twin daughters (with 1:1 full time care needs) can have a bedroom their wheelchairs can fit in (: they don't care at all and they expect entire families to take on full time care if it means they save a cent
Our NDIS is getting MOGGED by these rizzless providers fr fr and it is not bussin
ON GOD
No cap
No cap rizzlord, no cap
Bro wtf why does ur comment say 1 hr ago but this vid came out like 10 minutes ago
MY BRAIN IS FUCKING MELTING OUT OF MY EARS
What really grinds my gears about the people who exploit the NDIS scheme is that it really does significantly impact those who draw an actual, needed benefit from it. My older brother has had a developmental disability for his whole life (he has to get "checked" by the family doctor every year to validate that he's still disabled...as if it was suddenly going to get better...fucking wild) and his primary carer is my (retired) Dad. Dad 100% needs the financial assistance that is provided via NDIS yet I consistently hear people who are generally ignorant of anyone with actual disabilities who say "Just scrap the scheme, everyone is scamming/milking." My brother would suffer greatly without the assistance that the NDIS scheme provides.
I feel bad man i hope you and ur older brother get better
That has nothing to do with people using the system
That has to do with our government hating poor and disabled people
You realise they pay 7× as much to take are of each individual prisoner
They could and should be giving every last person in this country a minimum of 50k a year while putting in restrictions on company price increases they pretend is inflation
i'm in the same place. trying to apply for it is hell. i'm *guaranteed* to get in because of my diagnosis, but the barriers to entry are how much you have to hassle them to begin with for your case to make any progress at all. not even getting into care plan managers and shit like that complicating the entire thing sevenfold.
the system's not made for people with disabilities to navigate. it's made for people who know who to jump through loopholes, or have someone close enough who's willing to go through them CONSTANTLY for them. and there's a lot of people willing to jump through loopholes for a lot of money.
Exploit? Lol the service providers are the biggest exploiters here cuz theyre the ones getting upper class wages to do unskilled labour
bro so i had a stroke when i was 17, i really struggled getting work. So i took everyone's advice and went to an NDIS job place. It was a plastic outdoor table in an almost empty office building at Blacktown. When i wouldn't sign their wild contract, that was clearly beneficial to them and for sure illegal, i tried to leave. They threatened to call the cops and blocked the door. When you have to intimidate disabled people, i think something is broken. Don't stress i have read all the employment acts now and have a good idea on questions they can ask about disability, reasonable adjustments etc
My gf is a social worker. I've heard all about how many people are just running dodgy little operations and barely helping their clients.
My old man is declining rapidly due to both Parkinson's and Dementia and has around 80k in funding for carers but absolutely nothing for equipment and consumables. Patient hoist you mentioned ? Won't fund it. Wet area modifications for the laundry ? Won't fund it. Entry ramp for the front door ? Won't fund it despite him waiting six years and counting wheelchair bound.
No wonder this country is circling the drain! $80k and that isn't enough?
I'm in my mid-30s and I don't even earn $80k a year working full-time!
How on earth are we supposed to fund all of this and stay afloat?
@@ChiddyGamer that's bullshit, we could fund the NDIS by not going ahead with Aukus and the submarine scam. Out priorities as a country are fucked.
@ChiddyGamer it's all a scam with providers cashing in big. 80k should be enough for a live-in carer.
Circling the drain? I've been waiting for years for a wheelchair, I'm now stuck in bed with a nappy on 24 7 after waiting 10years for help. NOT FUNNY!
Man, I’m sorry to hear that. My step dad has Parkinsons and it’s fucked. I hate that disease.
Fun fact:
Legally, as an NDIS service provider (who gets paid to provide a service) you can apply for Guardianship and Financial Management over a person. That gives you the right to make financial decisions on their behalf.
During a hearing on the topic, the court will consult experts to determine if the person is in need of someone else to manage their finances. Experts might be: NDIS service providers.
Then, once they have guardianship, the NDIS provider can decide the most important thing is to spend another 30 years worth of NDIS money on that NDIS provider.
This is (currently) entirely legal.
Can confirm, personally dealing with this right now. With a provider using these legal means to tear my family apart..
@@FlamingLily wow this is beyond it.
Dang, I Care A Lot was based on Australia?
i got asked on a job application the other day "Do you currently identify as having a disability?" if that isn't begging for exploitation I don't know what is
As someone with 5 disabilities I never tick yes because this 👆
Discrimination
“Identify” does this mean I can get the ndis if I just pretend to believe Im disabled
@@chaoz675 no it's probably more related to people with issues like certain injuries or poor eyesight and poor hearing where it isn't to the extent of blindness/deafness but might impair them to some extent, like a lot of older people in the workforce etc
And saying either "Yes" or "Prefer not to say" sets you up for rejection anyway.
Shady providers ripping off the govt.. See employment providers also.
Govt says let someone else do the work, and pretend it's not their fault when things go wrong down the line. 💔
yep employment providers...what a rort
I like to compare to the california example, 10s of billions spent on private housing assistance organisations, all they do is say "poor you it sucks you don't have a house" While nothing gets built/done about the actual problems. Ndis is the same.
Literally the only benefit to privatisation is they don't have to handle the responsibility anymore
It's disgusting
Liberal economic are some of the dumbest shit that just exists for individuals to abuse for their own benefit while putting everyone else down
A friend worked for an NDIS provider for a short time. It was run by a couple, managed by their 20-something year old kid (zero management experience) who hired on a friend in some made up position that paid six figures. They were overcharging people for whatever services & would instantly cut off anyone if their funds ran out (including people in disability accommodation). They were/are bringing in MILLIONS each year
This should be reported
Is the company called Connecting Families?
@@superstock9261 I have no idea. This job was partly the reason why my friend had a mental breakdown. They were telling me well & truly after the fact & I didn't ask too many questions
I work within the NDIS system, and am also a participant…it’s the most broken, barely functional, barely co-ordinated, almost actively unfair system.
The amount of people like myself who are losing all hope and end up giving in to self harm, because of the NDIS system promising help that they won’t deliver, is insane…
why do you think they spelled it “end-this”…
@@im_flatat this point…I don’t expect anyone out there to see anyone with any kind of special needs, as an equal human. We’re treated as invalids and easy targets to rip off.
Particularly for those of us with a psychosocial disability. We were excluded from the original legislation. When the states found out they'd be on the hook for funding our needs, they revolted. We were jammed in at the last minute. We have borne the brunt of the cutbacks to the scheme. The community consultation was an absolute farce. Now that Bill has rogered us without lube, he's buggered off to a cushy job in academia. Leaving a scorched earth behind him.
No one argued against people demonstrating their legitimacy when billing the scheme. Disabled people are now excluded from full citizenship rights. I'm a lifelong Labor voter. What BillmShorten did to those of us on the scheme is unconscionable. Jordies got this one wrong.
My mother was referred people to help with her garden, they scammed her out of $15k of her savings it still kills me that I found out about it too late.
I applied three years agp to get some help with my weekly physio for a chronic heart condition and the short version-
piss off they don't have any money
You want an expose on how fucked disability work is, do a “support workers, tell us your sins” thing like you have for other professions. I’ll gladly tell you about reports that I have personally made about my previous employer’s fraudulent and neglectful practices to the NDIS quality and safeguards commission that have been sitting there for months and still have yet to be allocated an investigator for.
I put in a complaint about one of my providers, it took 10 months for them to get back to me. After 2 months my support coordinator followed up for them to tell her that they hadn't gotten to it yet because of backlog.
@@amandamandamands well if you don’t like others support, support yourself. I’m not sure how 99% of the rest of the world does it without ndis
the problem with what bill has done is not that he's made changes to the list or stopped fraud, its that the ndia itself doesn't fund participants correctly or in a timely manner. If those were the changes then the disability community (and one would hope by extension the greens) would be supportive of. the changes have gone after the wrong issues first, and eroded confidence in the community.
I can't believe I had to scroll this far to read this, and no one else has liked it
I recently worked in admin and rostering for a company but left as soon as I saw what was going on. One lady would get her shopping ordered and dropped off to her, she'd give her support worker a list, the support worker got me to place the order for click and collect but they'd go through it and take out any items that they thought cost too much ($7 butter NO, just tell the client there was none available). I realised they skimped on expendables like clients shopping in favour of support worker shifts. This same lady called up and wanted to cancel her support worker visit because she was under the weather and wanted peace & quiet. The company would not take no for an answer and the support worker went, watered a plant... Charged 3 hours care. It's absolutely disgusting. I quit that day.
I never want to see skibidi on a friendlyjordies thumbnail again... Im gonna go bleach my eyes now
I’m used to it. I’ve got this one friend at work who’s a fellow ADHDer unironically says skibidi 😂😂😂

We got skibidi before we got any constructive criticism of Labor
Would have been nice if you included the disability community's perspective on this. Many disabled people, their families and health experts were strongly against the proposed changes, as it meant that finding a suitable provider would be even harder. Shorten ignored these concerns, basically telling everyone "I know what's right for you. Trust me on this."
Agree, the worst thing that they have done is bringing in that you have to use services that are NDIS approved. I have better services using other people. One of my services dropped being NDIS approved because their clients are all plan managed. They told me that to become approved you fill in the paperwork, do a handwashing course (doesn't seem to matter what service you provide it is a one size fits all process) and pay the processing fee that came in when Liberals outsourced it. They don't do any follow up's or audits to make sure that the company is actually doing what they say they are or that their employees are competent.
I think if they're going to tighten access to the NDIS then they should also give way more funding towards public psychiatry. I'm aware that public health funding has increased, but I think more needs to be done on the mental health side. I've been struggling for years just to get one diagnosis on a multitude of conditions, and the constant delay and faffing about has put my life at risk. It took me attempting to take my own life before I could even see a psychiatrist, and every appointment thereafter was only secured because I did it again. I should not have to threaten ending my own life to see a doctor.
@@YourPalKindred exactly trying to not only find but to afford a decent psychiatrist is almost impossible these days. I’ve tried to find one in my local area only to be told that no one is taking on new patients. Mental health system is fucked and the NDIS would fund someone to get you out in the community but not what you really need which is a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
I am all for that there should be more public psychiatry. The only ones that I am aware of are connected to the local community health centres and you need to meet a strict criteria to be on their books. They then discharge you as quickly as they can because they constantly have more referrals than they can handle (it is also mainly registrars getting their hours to be fully qualified). They are also limited on what diagnoses they will diagnose and treat (they don't work with autism and ADHD to my knowledge).
Problem is that NDIS only does assessments and not diagnoses so I can't see them funding psychiatrists cause they also don't cover medications. You have to have the money to get the diagnoses and reports first before you can apply for the NDIS
@@YourPalKindred if you have mental condition may I suggest staying off the internet’s
@@Lazadvjkn shut up
I hate seeing those stickers that say, "I love NDIS". This is because they are used to decorate providers' vehicles. What I see is someone saying, "I like money." If actual disabled people were to display such stickers, that would be a different matter altogether, particularly if said disabled people were able to explain how NDIS is making their lives better.
Good point. My son is on the NDIS, and our feelings towards the scheme are wary at best. It's so inefficient, complicated and unreliable, it's too much of a liability to build your life around, so we use it as little as possible, which is probably what they want. But it's a shame, because the NDIS was originally designed for people just like my son, who has severe joint contractures and no use of his upper or lower limbs.
NDIS providers are the major reason the scheme is failing. When they're not gouging or defrauding, they take an absurd amount of time to deliver, if they ever do. There's no accountability for this. No KPIs, no tracking of participant goals met or commitments honoured. Introducing such measures would be a relatively easy fix, resulting in better service for participants and weeding out many of the dodgier providers, but that's too much common sense for a government scheme, even if Bill Shorten is committed to improving it (and I believe he is one of the rare ones who is).
Jordie I am actually SO glad you're doing this. My ex's mother had an aqcuired brain injury and got taken advantage of by NDIS so badly. They quite literally sucked her money dry, their "chef" hired his meth head son to take care of her, and what that amounted to was him walking her to the fucking bottle shop every single day for litres of vodka. She passed away in November of 2020 due to the absolute piss poor state of the hospital, she died alone on a stretcher waiting in a hallway and NDIS drove me, her daughter and her husband away from her. That's why even though my own mother is disabled I told her to never EVER trust NDIS.
EDIT: The "Chef" also lied about his credentials saying he'd been the private chef for a football team in the UK. I actually paid the charges to call them and confirmed they'd never even heard of him. Somehow all of the people on her "team" were like a mother and father and their methhead son. They also tried to get a restraining order on me because I was very vocal about them splitting her family apart and poisoning her with a constant stream of vodka.
I have a physical disability and the NDIS already asks you to go through all sorts of hoops to get it constantly asking you if you're still disabled and what kind of supports you need etc. The problem is whoever is reading the reports either don't read the reports or have a lack reading comprehension skills and probably need to be on it themselves not working for it. I heard from a couple of different support workers of a story of a paraplegic woman who was cut off from her funding even after going through their hoops that are in place now. Have heard several other stories of people who don't need support getting way more than their supposed to as well. Guess time will tell if this new regulation will help or make things worse.
My support worker had a client who faked being in a wheel chair to get tens of thousands of dollars extra a year, but then people who actually need support get jack shit
Mat, sam thing happens in Russia. People without legs have to come in to the correct office to prove they didnt grow new ones.
The workers don't read the reports at all, they're just following orders to deny as many people as possible.
If your condition has the "possibility of simply improving in the future"* you will lose or never have funding.
*As decided by people that have no background in social work or psychology or any sort of qualification.
@@ChiknPog Like why and how? haha
The ndis is so broken, I'm on the NDIS and half my disabilities are not recognized.
The new bill is scary to me because 1. New thing are scary. And 2. Taking money out of something that seems already underfunded seems bad. I think both labor and greens both have points. Keep the funding in the NDIS so more of the people who need to be on the NDIS can be on it. And maybe get more people to help disabled people through the process of applying (it's a nightmare) but I agree that people need to be ndis certified but some of those certifications need to be looked into. We get taken advantage of all the time. And I believe for some rare cases sex work should be apart of ndis
for me its also the diagnosis based funding rather symptom based funding. one of my disabilites ranges wildly in how much it can effect you, for me before i got on the ndis i was bed ridden, and now i have a wheelchair i can use to get around and that's improved my life so much. however others may not be effected severly at all. what happens if the goverment decide to go with the definition that it isn't very life effecting? suddenly the funds i am using for physical therapy and things like that are gone and i go back to being bed ridden. the greens are not a perfect party, however they have been right on this bill.
@@beefox__ I agree very much. I just can't explain all the issues cause.. brain go brrr 😂
Being NDIS approved doesn't safeguard anything. It is filling in paperwork, doing a handwashing course, and paying the processing fee that came in because Liberals outsourced the approval process. No one actually checks that these people are doing any of the things that they put on the paperwork or checks that any of their employees are actually competent.
On my first plan all of my services were NDIS approved, now only 1 of them is (my psychologist was but dropped it because all of her NDIS clients are plan managed). I have much better services now than I did before, half of them it felt like they did the bare minimum because they paid their employees the minimum that they can get away with so they aren't getting quality employees.
@@SpongeyTii maybe you're just weak, if you cant thrive in capitalist society then sorry you're no longer viable
My old bosses went from living in a shitty rental to owning 2 brand new $50k FWD’s, wearing literal designer shit and buying a million dollar house within the first two years of starting a day service. The day service is amazing due to the work the support workers do while the boss shows up for selfies and literally spends his day golfing. They’ve been reported heaps by ex-staff for being dodgy but nothing ever happens. However I had to help a client ask the NDIS for a motorised wheelchair because he couldn’t fucking walk and could barely use his arms and they offered him one he has to manually wheel. This shit is too all over the joint. Hopefully these reforms get some shit done and people like my old employers are more heavily scrutinised.
FWD stand for front wheel drive not all/4-wheel drive what you mean is AWD or 4WD
its because basically half the money goes to the person doing the work and the other half goes to the provider so if you get alot of hours yeah hella money, check any invoice and they charge like crazy amounts
My best friend does cuddle therapy which has been paid for by the NDIS, people might find the whole idea funny but she worked for a blind autistic young adult whom it is incredibly important and therapeutic for.
Pathetic
Human physical interaction like hugs and holding a hand is severely undervalued in our society. Gabor mate and another authors the body keeps the score show clearly we need community and human physical interaction for our mental health.
I can not have a home for that
The problem is men sexually assaulting people in this situation.
I’m more than happy for tax money to go towards things like this.
It’s sad how many disability supports sound funny at first, the good news is that even a basic skim of research behind them usually shows how beneficial they are.
Not a fan of them ending support for sex work on the NDIS, i know many providers who see people with disabilities, these people often need human interaction and cannot get it anywhere else. Its also an insanely small portion of the money spent on the scheme
Nope.
Lmao isn't prostitution illegal here
A cuddle buddy should be fine but it covering actual sex work is ridiculous and likely illegal regardless
I'm on the ndis and I'm lonely asf. I can't even remember the last time someone other than my grandma gave me a hug or any affection
My parents are abusive narcissistics who never loved me
But I sure as hell aren't about to go use that money to get laid
That's pathetic
@@infernoblitz2449 thats on you man, so many people see sex workers for that reason, if you dont wanna then fine. You dont even need to get laid, even just for someone to hug and talk to. Sounds like you need it
@@infernoblitz2449 its not illegal, in fact in most states they are registered businesses that pay taxes like anyone else. And yeah cuddling and having someone to talk to is a large amount of what they do for NDIS
I hate a "mate" who was selling coke and started a business as a NDI provider to launder his coke money but soon realized there was a lot more money in the NDIS then in selling blow so now does that full time
That's the dream...
5% spent in error, 50% wasted of overpriced specialists who don't know/do anything beneficial.
Seriously, psychologists are near useless
It's crazy the amount of money providers can claim per hour of care. The support workers get a small slice, admin get the rest, and it's a large amount of public money squandered. The disabled should get alot more bang for the bucks they are funded!
As a disability worker for the past 14 years, i can confirm that every mo-fo has their hand in that till.
None more so then the speech therapist, occupational therapists, and psychiatrist that have a parasitic relationship with the ndis.
Sounds bad? It is. Weve had the same "team of experts" be on the payroll for 2 years without suggesting a single coherant goal, or achieving a single outcome for the guy i look after.
oh god, we just have a new OT that make shit up as she goes, we let her go after like 3-4 sessions. This kind of thing are like hit or miss, and the good one keep leaving after a year or two.
Yes, it's so frustrating. We are going through the process of finding new therapists, but even that process means burning through funding to find a good fit
I would advise not going through Monash health if your in the s.e of melbourne
Hey Jordan, if you seriously want some information about just how horrendously flawed and fractured the N.D.I.S. is come talk to some of the sucker workers who are the expendable link in the chain that is the “Australian Industrial Disability Complex” as I like to call it.
i was denied the NDIS because apparently i missed a question, they said they called and sent an email regarding it.... still waiting on both years later
Labor pretending that the NDIS is working properly other than genuine fraud Is incredibly laughable.
@@S2yay this was under the libs
@@S2yaythe inquires into the NDIS only fully completed this year ( not long ago) so how could Labor implement recommendations BEFORE the inquires complete? Another ' Blame Labor ' comment. Who exposed corruption in the NDIS ? Labor, who installed a full enquiry? You guessed it. Who is left to fund the recommendations ? Yeah same. What do they get? " It's all Labors fault... because...I don't know.... genius
From what I’ve heard about NDIS, it sounds like a sham more than anything. It’s like they get paid to not help people they’re supposed to.
I have mild Autism and I actually feel like they’re just not very good at all. Genuinely embarrassing how much they refuse to actually do what they’re supposed to.
It's taken over a year to get help for my daughter for speech therapy. She needed to get diagnosed first.
Okay.
Then I asked about a pediatritian as I think my daughter has ADHD and possible Autism (both my husband and I have ADHD).
Oh, no that'll come out of our pocket.
I've been told 3 years wait on public and private can take time but it very expensive.
I just want her to get a diagnosis.
Ger teachers are fantastic. They know how to redirect her and very patient with her.
My mother has a major stroke. She's been in it for years. But she's never asked for anything except to have her chair fixed a couple of times. She now has trouble controlling her body temperature. She asked to have air-conditioning. Her G.P filled out the form, stated the case and no.
This whole year, she hasn't used any of it.
But then I hear of people stealing it. I don't know how.
I think it's people who don't know how it works. Someone tried telling me his "friend" is on it because he has a lisp. And got thousands of dollars. Spent is all of t.vs, a car, boat etc 😂😂 yeah don't think so.
Is this the UK? I’m over 30 but they’ve told me ADHD diagnosis is 3 years and for autism which they are trying to fast track they haven’t given me any time scale (but it’s been a year and a half since this started with the GP). It’s all one big Ponzi scheme and doesn’t make any sense at all.
That is one of the big conundrums of NDIS, they only pay for assessments and not diagnoses and tell you that you need to have your diagnoses and reports before you can apply. This means that it is only the people who have the money to afford the therapies without NDIS that have the easiest time getting the reports that you need to apply.
@@amandamandamands It's frustrating. Especially like you said when you don't have the money to begin with. Social workers helped with getting my daughter diagnosed by helping with a community speech therapist.
I'll have to go the private route but it'll take a year or so to save up. I don't even know how many appointments she'll need. Things are so different from when I got diagnosed as a kid.
Our system is terrible. I more than qualify for the medical pension according to their own data. But they deny me saying I am morbidly obese (I am not and never have been, not even close) and saying my condition is not stabilised as if that actually means anything with my condition. So i have to be broke because of medications and have to look for work that I cannot do. The system has screwed me. And they act like I am in the wrong for complaining.
yea and dfriendly jordies is here only adding to missinformation i used to like him
@@CrypticBorePlease explain the misinformation, Mr Jordies is spreading. You got my attention 😀
Do some exercise
@@RUclipsgoblin23 Congratulations for curing every mental health condition. If only we realised sooner how simple the solution was, and that the decades of research into it and millions spent researching pharmaceutical solutions was in vain.
@@YourPalKindred eat less feel better
No sex work and toys paid for is fine, but women's hygiene Should be. Actually it should just be free for them all.
I’m kind of shocked Jordan didn’t bring this up. Menstrual products being excluded from funding was a huge fuck up.
As an Aussie sex worker of a decade, I completely agree with you, it should not be funded by NDIS, nor the toys or anything like that. The amount of sexual compulsion and addiction that has arisen in people with disabilities due to the NDIS is absolutely horrific. Makes me ill to even think about. A lot of them are absolutely exhausting all their funding by this alone. I've never accepted NDIS funded jobs. I will see veterans & the terminally ill though, however this money comes from end of life insurance payouts or private funds. NDIS funding for this needs to be stopped immediately. Menstruation products should absolutely be included 💯
Oh because it’s an essential product, that makes sense. I️ already thought that but only kinda knew what was going on
Having your period isn’t a disability so why should it be covered? In that case the government should cover this for all women.
@@murdermostdownunder3562No offense, but that's a really unfair generalization. Disability is a spectrum and not everyone who has a disability is compulsive. I know many who are passive people who only visit a sex worker once or twice a year. Saying we should just deny disabled people funding for sexual services because of a few people with self-control issues is unfair and gives sends a really degrading message to the disabled community: "We don't trust you to be independent". If they have an addiction then it should be up to their families and peers to intervene, not the government.
Also, why is sex being funded by the NDIS morally wrong, but receiving money from an end of life insurance policy isn't? Those policies are meant to cover the costs of the person's funeral and other expenses to assist the family when they're gone. To use that payout on sex sounds kind of grubby and a little selfish. Likewise, isn't there a possibility that they too could squander it all to satisfy an addiction? The same goes for private funds. Any access to money can be misused regardless of where it comes from and the psychical and mental ability of the person. It's unfair to single out all disabled people when there are many able bodied people, terminally ill people and veterans with demons too.
NDIS forces me to have funding in categories I'll never use and that are irrelevant to my disability 😊😊 while the categories I do use are completely spent 🎉🎉🎉 can't wait for review where they point at the unspent categories and use it as justification to cut my overall budget ❤❤
me, when I learn that the "core" catagory of my budget covers nothing I need and makes up 2 thirds of my funding
@@pappanoodles3927 yeah that's fucked, I would desperately ask your coordinator for a plan review asap. Make sure your funding reflects your long and short term goals so hopefully they can keep the budget but allocate it more sensibly.
@@cfin455 nothing in my core funding is anything I would need at all, so it doesn’t get used.
So many confuse the frauds and over-claiming in NDIS as the disabled recipients, when it’s predominantly the providers. It goes to show that they don’t fully understand how the system works. Because NDIS works by calculating a budget according to career position, supports needed or worker pay, & does so in period payments. It’s pretty accurate, works to prevents abuse & stops if it isn’t used in a certain timeframe.
Btw I did some research to read recent issues with NDIS, however I discovered that Pauline Hanson (who ironically has a ableist reputation) estimates that up to 90% of NDIS plan managers had ‘significant indicators of fraud’. I can’t say this statement holds any water yet. But given that 41% of NDIS recipients are children under the age of 14 who would need a parental figure to manage their plan, it’s safe to say that the plan managers are the main issue and this extended to providers through poor HR.
The problem that Pauline quite conveniently ignores is that with children they will usually make it so that they parents have to self manage it. This means that they have to understand the complexity and codes of what the money can and can't be spent on without having anyone to ask (unless NDIA has a helpline that you can ask), so how much of it is the parents deliberately rorting and how much is that because it is so complicated the parents got it wrong.
Also the plan manager pays or rejects the invoices that come in, is Pauline saying that they are skimming off the top or that they don't know their job well enough and are paying invoices that they shouldn't.
I put in an official complaint about one of my providers and it took NDIS 10 months to get back to me because they are so backlogged. My issue with them is the amount that they were billing (padding hours), my plan manager has no way of knowing if they did those hours or not, his job is that if the invoices is filled in correctly to pay it (and at least with him I can follow up, I have heard of people who are NDIA managed and they will just pay any invoice that comes across their desk even if you have cancelled working with that provider).

NDIS rejected me 3 times when in a wheelchair after having a stroke and unable to walk, or even sign my name. So "I thought fk them, Ill do it myself and not give them any of the credit". 10 years later Ive started walking with a stick (on flat surfaces and avoiding stairs), it could have happened in half the time if I had any assistance, but rejected because, I could manage my own finances and order groceries online.

Yea these providers are fukd, i could write a whole essay from personal experience being a carer. But everyone gets the point.
Hey Jordie, could you do one on the DES Employment Agencies in Australia? I’m convinced they’re keeping my yearly funding and purposefully not telling me what I am entitled too, and when I’ve asked for things I know I’m entitled too, I’ve been argued with and ultimately denied. I also told one how bad my Home situation was and received no help, but was forced to take jobs, rather than being worked with to get my health on track, so I never lasted more than 3 months at a job.
I am more Stressed, Depressed and Anxious working with these DES Employment Agencies, it’s like they don’t see you as a person who needs that extra help, and just as a chance to get a bonus. It has been a battle with them for at least a Decade at this point.
@AreiaBlood stories like this are the main reason I haven't gone down the DES route (even though I really should). It sounds like all they care about is getting people in jobs & have zero consideration for where people are at and what their working capacity really is. I know they get a decent payout for everyone they get into employment, so that is probably their only motivation
there's this old comedy set where a bloke talks about taking his severely disabled brother down the brothel because his dad got too old to do it. it was uncomfortable, heartwarming, and showed a family's debt of gratitude to some reasonably priced and compassionate women. I bring it up because it's why I don't care if the government spends a couple of hundred helping a nugget get a root. it's better than dropping 30 mil on robocops for landforces.
The friendyjordies title situation is crazy
Jordies is gonna flip when he finds out you can be medically prescribed warhammer minis and paints and NDIS will pay for it.
For recipients of this funding its actually a valid and beneficial therapy.
Its crazy how I looked up your channel to see how you were doing these days and I see a new upload from 25 seconds ago! Amazing!
@@amcmartin Ok... Thanks for the info I guess
As someone with level 1 Autism I’ve never gone with NDIS because that would be a disservice to my fellow Australian compatriots that are less fortunate.
As someone on the scheme, yeah it is so insanely dodgy it's unreal. Especially since now the government has made clear it's no longer open season, companies have been trying to get as much money out as possible for their holiday to Thailand.
My support worker provider provider had been sending invoices that included line items I had not agreed to (not allowed), and even worse, said line items weren't even *allowed* to be billed. You straight up were not allowed to bill someone for it. Yet they did it anyway, and it all got rubber stamped by my plan manager until I suddenly got the phone call of "Whoops you're out of money we'll have to cut your supports".
They desperately need to stop screwing us over. It's absurd.
I'm Autistic, ADHD and have multiple physical disabilities and chronic pain conditions as well but the NDIS have put me in the category 'psychosocial' which is the category for people with mental illness and won't cover anything related to the disabilities I actually have!
Wait, you can’t be put in multiple categories?
Autism and ADHD are considered psychosocial to my knowledge.
It’s sad how I have a stage 3 autistic younger brother and the plan managers stole 11k of his funds. Rendering us unable to pay our support worker and OT/SP
I do believe you had misappropriated funds as I see this often, but I need to ask how the plan manger stole it as this is a set rate and ndia managed. Do you mean the pm paid invoices that over utilised the funding with another provider?
Unless you are saying that your plan manager embezzled your funds there has to be something else going on. At the end of each plan NDIS audits what was spent and will come back if it was used on items that aren't approved and there has to be invoices for everything. There is also that companies can bill for anything and if a plan manager has what looks like a legit invoice sent to them then they will pay it because they have no way of knowing if the service was supplied or not.
The thing no one is talking about is that, since the inception of the NDIS, if someone with a healthy commission contract says you need something they can charge whatever they want, but if a participant says they need something, they need to prove its basically necessary for them not to die. I mean Jesus, I got knocked back for an OCR reader despite having a full OT report, because apparently “I’m legally blind and I need to read shit” isn’t enough.
The Friendlyjordies RUclips videos titles is out of control
It's great when you can barely get the NDIS to cover your bi-weekly therapy while there are people getting funko pops covered from JB hifi

As someone who actually benefits from the NDIS, I can tell you right now. The actual impact of Labor has been at worst negligible and at best definitely beneficial.
so?...
U crippling our society
really ive found dealing with the agency since labor took over has been more difficult and frustrating
The only good thing that I have seen Labor bring in is that they are rolling over plans if there haven't been any issues instead of having to have another review. If they bring in the changes that they are talking about then I will have to find new providers for everything as I have found better services and supports with people who aren't NDIS approved
@@johney3734 these cripples don't care, they just wana play d&d 🤣
I needed a behavioural support practitioner for my son with ASD level 3. A contract was signed for the allocated funding and they have charged around $1000 per hour long session, burned though all the funding while still not providing a behaviour support plan and have now breached the contract by spending more than was allocated and are now trying to squeeze almost another $1000 out of me. Not all but some NDIS providers are just absolutely criminal.
Sorry to hear that, it's so shit! Sadly, from my experience in the allied health space, I think it is probably 50:50 in terms of legit providers vs out-n-out scammers. Even on the clinical side, I work in a hospital part-time and the difficulty we have hiring OTs/psychs/physios etc due to everyone knowing that writing the exact same report for a private client in the community will get you your week's wage per single report vs slogging it out in the public system where demand for said reports is unmanageable! It's a very dire situation with the main victims being already vulnerable people!
I’m not sure how they get away with those rates because I’m sure the NDIS specifies how much they get paid per hour
As an autistic Aussie woman, functioning levels and labels were actually fair for their day in a time when there’s even less autism recognition decades ago, but they’re now just outdated and questionable.
Report to NDIS commission and the NDIA
The Labour NDIS things were bussin bussin no cap (I don’t know what I’m doing anymore)
It might also shock you to know that the cash these NDIS providers receive is GST free. Potential big refunds from the tax office every quarter when they can still claim gst on their expenses. I know one client i have (as an accountant) earns money as a carer despite living 600km away from the people she supposedly cares for. The schtick these days seems to be to dump a demountable cabin in the backyard and move your client in to claim "24hr care", and get the NDIS to pay their rent too.
Ngl I love your channel. Your upload history is just "Pizza workers confess their sins." "Airport workers confess their sins." "I survived an assassination attempt by the HMRC" "Taxi Driver Funny Moments" and each of them are as comedic as the last it's great
You conveniantly forgot to mention that it was Labour that implemented NDIS.
Then 9 years of coalition austerity started not even a few month later :/
The 'this situation is crazy' situation is crazy
a participant i support was declined so kuch stuff that he has funding for multiple times. he recently had it all approved, but it was denied like 3 times first. stuff that is cheaper to replace the equipment he already has and is much safer for him. he's also had claims literally go missing never seen again and his old mum has to go do it all again, those documents havent ever been found again. i think the support part of the ndis is great, but, speaking as someone who was on the dole for years, the ndis is like centrelink. a bunch of incompetent people not doing anything. not following up on shit, losing shit, creating unnecessary paper work to make it harder
Sorry Jordies, but unfortunately Labor really is going after NDIS participants. I agree that providers, organised crime and fraudsters at large have been causing massive cost blowouts, but instead of focusing on that, it seems that the NDIA is targeting participants at large. The entire NDIS participant community and providers such as Support Co-ordinators and Plan Managers panicking over the future, and if they'll even have a place in the NDIS scheme at all.
Im in the NDIS system myself and both I and my service provider are frustrated trying to get them to cough up the money for hearing aids, and we're having to fight tooth and nail to prove the government-issued pack won't cut it.
I used to work as a lifeguard when I as 16 in a local school sports centre, and we used to do 45 minute shifts poolside as a single lifeguard to up-to 40 kids/adults. One day a mother and her spawn arrived and he immediately begins running around the pool. I blow my whistle and tell him off but he keeps doing it before finally speaking to his mum and asking him to stop.
Mum tells me to pound sand as this piercing scream comes from the poolside. Her kid went gone ass-over-tit and landed on their arm, breaking it like a twig.
As her kid is screaming and crying, and I go to administer first aid, the mum gets in my face and stops me, screaming about suing me for "Being a useless fucking idiot who should've dried the poolside."
Boss and team join me to cart the brat to hospital, as mum continues to threaten everyone with a whistle around their neck.
She never did come back and I never got sued. Yay.
My 2 year NDIS funding ran out in less than a year.... support worker taking more than 10k
was your support worker at least helpful?
Ive had trouble with some of my students finding themselves in situations they cant navigate themselves with their doctor, telephone company or bank. im supposed to be teaching them employment/trade skills, but get sidetracked trying to explain that NO, vitamins wont help your Anxiety, you need to go on the waiting list to see a neuro-affirming doctor, their consumer rights and how to enforce them while their support workers and service providers go "oh thats so sad" when i explain their clients problems and leave it at that. Its hard to teach a young adult employment skills while they are crying, having an anxiety attack in the corner of the workshop. a lot of "supports" just act like an expensive, personal taxi service.
Im just glad i work for a nonprofit community center and our whole focus is actually helping people.

As a disabled person in the UK, I do sometimes find that accessing services for the disabled can be an absolute headache as a result of doing absolutely everything to stop bad actors from getting services and money they don't need. Personally I think trusting people asking these services for help should be the standard and evidence should only be asked for once the processes are underway. Delaying necessary support for the disabled is never a good thing, even if it is to pursue proof. However, identification verification through data such as Full Name, Address, NHS number is a necessary step to no who your talking to and filters out most of the bad actors, any that are more dedicated can get filtered out by the pursuing of proof later.
I do get that this is more about people who provide services for the disabled, but a similar process should be in place. In this case, in person inspections should be added on to other evidence like DBS checks and whatnot as the sums of money are going to be much larger than when funding individuals.
I was going to be on the NDIS but it would be extremely hard for me and they told me having an amputated arm isn't good enough to be on it so the person is fighting to be on it
I was on board with his message, then he said Skibidi at the end, and now I don't know what to believe.

I mean of all the things capable of destroying American cars, I'd say Nuclear Weapons are probably the most capable. Most of them don't even have CBRN systems.
i mean, logically he is correct, you cant manufacture or sell cars if the country is an irradiated hellscape. but at that point does Auto manufacturing Even matter anymore?
Nukes are a threat to cars. I tried to drive a 2006 Honda Civic after a thermonuclear bomb went off in the back seat and I couldn't 😢

I see a lot of little white disability buses with lots of advertising and I❤NDIS. I bet they do! I rarely see anyone apart from the drivers in these buses. I do hear lots of stories about people being declined a disability payment who are clearly disabled and in need of support.

@@andykerass3695 I know the liberals are the worst of the available options and they've had far too long in power, causing far too much damage in the process. However, surely we should at least talk about Labor's shortcomings..
Love him but Jordies these days does seem painfully allergic both to going even slightly to the left of where he's firmly planted himself, even if it makes logical and arguably ethical sense in the context to do so, and to talking about any sort of '-ism' indepth without fear of scaring the portion of watchers that start crying 'woke' whenever social issues specific to marginalized groups come up.
The NDIS is kinda like the criminal justice system. Those who deserve it don't get it, and those that don't, do.
i love you completely neglecting to mention the fact that these NDIS cuts also exclude funding for medical cannabis which many disabled people genuinely need to treat their conditions or cope with chronic pain. you can be such a labor stan sometimes its embarrassing.

God i hate our country.
NDIS is wonderful, but the sheer theft by suppliers and middlemen is awful. From firsthand knowledge. That includes suppliers screwing over the NDIS on their back office services, IT and so on.
Other than care for the mentally retarded and physically malformed what kinda "services" are even out there that aren't utter bs and a clear scam lol
The “the [blank] situation is crazy” situation is crazy
I tried to apply but was too disabled to fill out the paperwork, but I was too able to get help. Makes me so mad not just for me but for others who need it without a family to get support
Love your work bud x
Wow add more middle management to the NDIS what could go wrong.
Ever tried putting a complaint into the safeguards commission. All that was needed was policing and penalties. Shortens reforms are a joke.
I'm in the process of that right now, it took them 10 months to get back to me and then they have contacted the company I had a complaint about who had 7 business days to get in contact with me. They emailed me 2:30pm on the 7th day to let me know that they have nearly finished their internal investigation. The company hasn't contacted me or my plan manager so they are going off what the person from the Safeguards Commission told them. Also looked up the person who emailed me and who they CC'd the email to and none of them were even working there during the relevant timeframe, so that should be interesting.
