Sunday 7 July 2024, NDIS Minister Bill Shorten announced his plan to prohibit the inclusion of sex work services through the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Since 2020, access to specialised sex services have been confirmed as available through the NDIS following a Federal Court ruling. This ruling determined that the National Disability Insurance Agency should approve such services when they are considered reasonable and necessary in an NDIS participant’s personal circumstances.
Scarlet Alliance and Touching Base unequivocally reject Minister Bill Shorten’s public declaration to exclude access to sex work services under the NDIS. We are currently engaging with allied peer and peak disability organisations, policy makers and media and are lobbying to challenge Minister Shorten’s desire to deny an already neglected aspect of the lives of people with disability.
