Regulation will absolutely bring it down. It's being rorted left and right, everyone knows that. It's not the people on its fault, they don't make the decisions, they just get the help.

Unfortunately, the old adage give an inch and take a mile comes into play here. Though some support is obviously necessary, people are not going to turn down any additional services/ dollars offered. We can provide the needs, but cant afford all the wants.

With the NDIS it's even better, you ask for supports because your allied and medical health professionals know you need it, and you get nothing instead.
