Mattea, a three-year-old with Jansen-de Vries syndrome, benefits from Australias National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). However, the NDIS faces budget cuts, with Teal MPs advocating for better child support and disability groups anticipating change. Matteas family endures a demanding routine of therapies and specialist visits, with her support potentially decreasing at age six unless her ongoing disability is proven.
