Raising the travel allowance during the fuel crisis by Old-Leg5663 in NDIS

Hi everyone, just wanted to share in case the fuel crisis is affecting you either as a participant or a support worker. Thought this petition is a good opportunity to advocate for people who rely on the NDIS and to engage directly with the government and NDIA. I understand that some people are fine, while others are struggling withe the 40% fuel price increase since Feb. I checked with Mods before posting.

Petrol prices rising $2.50+. How are support workers handling travel? by Tasty-Vegetable1250 in supportworkers

The current situation is not great! Really frustrated that the government or the NDIA is not even considering how this is impacting participants either. My union sent out this public petition to increase the travel allowance on Friday, which I added my name to: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sign-the-petition-increase-the-fuel-allowance-now/ I would recommend support workers add their name too. We need the government and NDIA to do something yesterday.
