The federal government will give the states $25 billion in GST top-up payments and extra health and hospital funding by the end of the decade, in return for their agreement to reform the NDIS and save it from collapse.

Anthony Albanese said the NDIS would not survive if not for the national cabinet deal, plus other changes that will weed out price gougers, slash the bureaucracy and restore the scheme to its original purpose of supporting people with permanent and significant disabilities.
