Toowoomba NDIS accountability: Send us your stories, tip-offs about disability abuse, neglect

The Chronicle wants to hear stories about residents’ dealings with the NDIS to support our new campaign. Here’s how you can enter:

The National Disability Insurance Scheme is used by thousands of people in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs — and we want to hear about your stories and experiences.

The Chronicle and NewsCorp is launching a new NDIS accountability campaign, to examine abuse, neglect and inequity within the system.

Our paper has a track record of supporting marginalised people against the scheme, such as Michael Cooper’s battle to get his seeing-eye dog back or Angus Hopkins needing to use a wheelbarrow while he waited for his new wheelchair.

You can tip us off about your own situation or someone you know — we will treat your story with sensitivity and compassion.

We will also consider anonymity where appropriate and won’t publish details unless discussed with you prior.

To let us know, submit your stories to our submission portal below:
