Paralympic great Kurt Fearnley talks highly of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the positive effect it will have for those who are disabled and society as a whole in Australia.
Its always encouraging to hear of a step in the right direction! 
The Paralympic wheelchair-racing triple gold medallist is in Hobart in his role on the NDIS Advisory Council.
“We’re talking about generational change, we’re talking about people with disability being welcomed into the community, a world where it’s not strange to see someone with a disability,’’ Mr Fearnley, 33, said. “It’s about change over decades.’’

THE National Disability Insurance Scheme will help change all of Australian society, not just people with disabilities, says wheelchair-athlete great Kurt Fearnley.
He said Australia had been among the worst of the OECD countries for its treatment of people with disabilities, but the NDIS would help change the world for people with disability and their families.
