Interview with Tanya Carroll on the NDIS


Listen Later

Join Tanya as she discusses with Reality Bytes podcast host, Desley Casey on the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Tanya was born in the early 70s.  Whilst growing up she sort of  new she had a few problems since she was born in 74, including  having died twice within the first 3 months of life. However, she  didn’t realise until many years later, after getting married &  having kids what she had to cope with during that time.

It was only in past 15 years, when in her early 30's Tanya found  out she was medically labelled with Mental Retardation not  long after she was born.   This label then changed to what  is well-known today as living with an Intellectual disability.

Tanya also has had to deal with a lot of things from her past.  It  took her 5 attempts to access the NDIS to receive assistance for  the multiple disabilities she lives with. Since then, the new NDIS  system has not been an easy road for her for her to navigate.

Tanya discusses:

  • Her challenges of being accepted onto the NDIS
  • The NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency)
  • Individual assessments
  • And, so much more
  • (Length:  Approximately 52 minutes)
