Kismet CEO Mark Woodland weighs in on NDIS reform

Kismet co-founder and CEO Mark Woodland was quoted in a Bloomberg article published by the Financial Post this week, offering his perspective on the federal government's planned overhaul of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

The article covers the government's announcement to reduce NDIS participant numbers from 760,000 to around 600,000 by 2030, and what that means for employment across the health and social assistance sector.

Mark shared his view on how the cuts will play out over time, and why the effects are likely to extend well beyond the NDIS itself.
