Data on Insurance Detailed by Researchers at School of Business (“most People Don’t Like a Client Group That Tell You To Get Fucked”Choice and Control In Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme for Formerly Incarcerated People): Insurance

2022 NOV 17 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Policy and Law Daily -- Researchers detail new data in Insurance. According to news reporting originating in Canberra, Australia, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a substantial policy reform aiming to radically transform the design and delivery of disability services. Choice and control are key tenets of the scheme, however challenges and limitations exist with respect to inequities and difficulties posed by boundaries between the NDIS and mainstream services.”

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the School of Business, “People with disability who have been incarcerated are particularly at risk of experiencing these limitations. However there has been little academic exploration of these issues for this group. This paper explores whether NDIS services are readily accessible for people with disability who were formerly incarcerated, outlining some of the challenges this group encounters. The research is based on interviews with 28 stakeholders from government and non-government organisations that interact with and provide support or services to people with disability within the criminal justice system. Our findings confirm the importance of a functioning NDIS plan to help prevent some individuals encountering the criminal justice system, outlining several challenges that formerly incarcerated people with disability experience with the scheme.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “We conclude that ideas of choice and control are inhibited for some formerly incarcerated people with disability and highlight actions that can be taken regarding specialist support coordination, advocacy services and market stewardship to address these issues.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
