The extablishment of a national disability insurance scheme will be a change as big as Medicare and will not happen overnight, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has said.
Ms Gillard faced angry parents and carers of disabled people at a fiery question-and-answer session in Sydney on Friday as she explained her government’s progress on the scheme.
Maree Buckwater, mother of a 25-year-old disabled son, demanded to know why the insurance scheme could not be brought in sooner than the government’s plan of mid-2013.
“There has been study, after study, after study. How much more do you have to study before you invest in the future of our children?” she asked the prime minister at the Family Resource and Network Support centre in North Croydon.
Ms Gillard told reporters she understood the frustrations of parents and carers.
“It’s not going to be built overnight,” Ms Gillard said.
“It’s going to be a change as big as Medicare.”
Ms Gillard said the scheme would offer extra financial support for all those living with disability.
“At the moment, what you get depends on how you got your disability,” she added.
“… Depending on the answers to those questions, you can get a good package of care or you can be left really struggling.”
The national disability insurance scheme was recommended by the Productivity Commission in 2011.
The federal opposition supports the idea but says it will not implement the scheme until the budget is brought back to surplus.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has estimated the scheme would cost $6 billion a year.
