The National Disability Insurance Scheme is on track to be one of the federal budget’s biggest expenses, with projections showing it will cost more than $50 billion by 2025/26 — overtaking the annual cost of Medicare. 

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Government Services minister Bill Shorten will address the National Press Club on Tuesday to outline his plan to secure the future of the landmark disability scheme.
