What has impressed me most about dealing with the NDIS is how much the corporate middlemen take as their cut.

To put on a staff member on $23 an hour, it costs the NDIS more than $120. My client chips in $3.

But the corporate middlemen actually have to charge a lot, because they handle important things like Compliance, Diversity and Liability.

More than of 80% of the cost of hiring a disabled person is lawyers, box-tickers, and blue-haired diversity consultants.

And then there's the public servants to administer it.

The least productive are not the disabled, they want to work.

The least productive are the politicians who mandate the lawyers, box-tickers, and blue-haired diversity consultants.
