States and territories have agreed to support the federal government's overhaul of the NDIS, clearing the way for it to curb spending on the scheme by 14-billion dollars over the next four years. The states had been in a standoff with the Commonwealth over its plan to shift some of the NDIS functions back to the states. While they have now agreed to back the reforms disability groups say they're deeply concerned by the bill.
