Sensible fix can transform Special Disability Trusts
A Senate inquiry into provisions of Special Disability Trusts has heard that trusts were a good idea, which had not been taken up, because provisions in legislation were too restrictive.
“It is very clear that with some sensible amendments, Special Disability Trusts can be fixed up to make a major difference to the lives of people living with a disability,” said Senator Rachel Siewert , who is on the inquiry.
The inquiry was considering why only 26 Special Disability Trusts have been set up, since they were first introduced in 2006.
