00:01More than 65,000 South Australians are supported by the NDIS and for many it's a lifeline.
00:09But proposed changes to the scheme, including the removal of participants, have left them concerned about the future.
00:15A lot of people out there are fearful about not only getting potentially removed from the system,
00:21but getting funding cut to things that are critical in their social wellbeing.
00:26Advocates have welcomed moves to crack down on rorting, but say reining in the scheme's cost can't come at the
00:32expense of those in need of support.
00:35What needs to be addressed is the fraud, is the providers out there that are not doing the right thing.
00:41For me, I don't know if I'd be able to return to the workforce, to be completely honest with you,
00:46without my supports.
00:47It will be up to the states to look after participants who are removed.
00:50The SA government says it will consider re-establishing state-based services that disappeared following the introduction of the NDIS,
00:57warning that the federal scheme should only be scaled down once the state's capacity is bolstered.
01:03If that's not built at the same speed, you run risks. You run risks of people falling through the cracks.
01:08Health services already cost South Australians billions each year.
01:12There's still work to be done on how this overhauled scheme will operate.
01:16But the state government is adamant it can't afford to put more pressure on a hospital network and a state
01:22budget already under strain.
01:25No state government around the country can afford just a straight out cost shift from one jurisdiction to the other
01:31without revenue reflecting so.
01:34A clear message to the federal government to be ready to open the purse strings.
01:38I don't know if you just have any billboards in the including the government,
01:38you're able to close to a federal government.
01:39So I'm no longer going to delay the court law.
01:39A clear message to the federal government.
01:39So you can stop the primary linguistics,
01:39especially if that's where the federal government is doing it,
01:42I'm not going to step up,
01:42and the federal government's going to be the federal government.
01:42I'm not going to set up the office.
01:42That's where I think I'm going to get an inquiry,
01:43You have an inquiry and the state in the right direction.
01:43I'm not going to get an inquiry.
