Dr Martin Sullivan, Massey University, New Zealand, will explore the implications of the National Disability Insurance Scheme for the lives of people with disability and their support networks drawing upon his experience personal and professional experience
with the New Zealand disability insurance scheme.</p>

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) marks a significant change to the way disability support is funded and delivered in Australia. The NDIS emerges out of disability advocacy and the Productivity Commission’s <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Disability
Care and Support</em> (2011) Report. However, it also occurs at a time in which there has been International funding cuts to disability, as well as changing ideas around the role of governments and markets alongside international frameworks which place an
emphasis on human rights, such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (CPRD). There has been considerable public, sector, disability movement, and policy debate about these wide-ranging changes , with heightened and urgent
attention being paid to the policy, services, and practical implications of the NDIS, as the rollout occurs.</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 22.3999996185303px; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
Yet, as these debates reveal, the NDIS raises many fundamental issues for how we conceive of social futures – and how we can adequately, imaginatively, and concretely do justice to the profound issues that disability raises, and that new systems of disability
support and care are enacting. These are issues being tackled from a range of locations, perspectives, approaches, and disciplines. This one day symposium aims to contribute to this emerging knowledge and conversations by offering a space for critical research,
reflection, and discussion.</p>
