About time the NDIS put a "you must have an invoice" for large amounts withdrawn from NDIS accounts for self managed participants. The thought that people could withdraw thousands of dollars with no evidence was mind blowing. 🤯 People should get to spend their funding how they see fit.

Ffs. I actually knew someone whose NHS job involved helping those who had serious psychiatric problems back into work. She was quite clear about one thing - it could be very beneficial, but they had to do it at their own pace. Serious external pressure would just send them spiralling again.
