130,000多名有严重心理健康需要的澳大利亚人缺乏支持,尽管在国家残疾保险制度上花费了数十亿澳元。 Over 130,000 Australians with severe mental health needs lack support despite billions spent on the NDIS.

数千名严重心理社会残疾的澳大利亚人无法获得关键支助,尽管有数十亿澳元花在国家残疾保险制度上,使大约13万最有需要的成年人得不到国家残疾保险制度或主流精神保健服务的帮助。 Thousands of Australians with significant psychosocial disability lack access to critical support despite billions spent on the NDIS, leaving about 130,000 adults with the highest needs without help from either the NDIS or mainstream mental health services. 国家残疾人服务局每年为大约66 000名社会心理残疾者花费58亿多美元,但许多不符合资格的个人因地点不同而面临不一致、资金不足或根本不存在护理的问题。 The NDIS spends over $5.8 billion annually on roughly 66,000 people with psychosocial disability, but many ineligible individuals face inconsistent, underfunded, or nonexistent care depending on location. Grattan研究所的一份报告警告说,如果不进行改革,全国残疾人协会的费用到2025/26年可能达到500亿美元,并建议在全国残疾人协会之外设立一个新的国家社会心理残疾方案,由联邦、州和地区政府共同资助。 A Grattan Institute report warns that without reform, NDIS costs could reach $50 billion by 2025/26, and recommends creating a new national psychosocial disability program outside the NDIS, funded jointly by federal, state, and territory governments. 拟议方案旨在扩大对所有人的以恢复为导向的支助,更有效地利用现有资金,改善成果并缩小护理方面的差距。 The proposed program aims to expand recovery-oriented support for all, using existing funds more efficiently to improve outcomes and reduce gaps in care.
