National is committed to helping disabled people achieve greater independence and lead better lives in their communities. This week we announced $144 million in initiatives for disabled people.
These initiatives include $54.7 million over four years for more home and community support, ensuring more people with disabilities get the care they need within the community, rather than having to enter residential care.
We are also boosting funding for cochlear implants, supports like hearing aids and wheelchair access, and ensuring that residential support is available for those who need it.
National has modernised disability support and has given disabled people much greater say on how their funding is used. There are now 1300 disabled people who can choose how, what, and who supports them.
