On the 15th of May 2013, Prime Minister Julia Gillard introduced legislation to fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme. This was the result of years of research, advocacy and pleas from the community that the system supporting people with disability in this country was failing.

In this podcast, we’re deep diving into one of the greatest social reforms in Australia’s history - the NDIS. You’ll learn where the scheme came from and why it was so desperately needed. You’ll hear from the people who fought to change the system, those personally affected by the NDIS and from those it’s failing. A Nation Changed with Kurt Fearnley answers this question - is this once in a generation social reform living up to its principles?
