Disability Services organisations and NDIS participants have taken part in a roundtable at Raymond Terrace to discuss the privatisation of the NSW Government's disability agency.
NDIS participants and their families raised concerns regarding inadequate funding in supports and services while providers said demand for their services is outstripping their capacity.
Acting Shadow Minister for Disability Services Kate Washington said the discussions shed further light on the complex issues facing the sector.
"There was a lot of frustration, a lot of concern and indeed despair," she said.
The Labor MP believes there's a significant risk of market failure emerging, as providers find it difficult to remain financially viable.
The roundtable comes as the NSW Government holds a Parliamentary Inquiry into the rollout of the NDIS and its impact of local services.
Around 50 people including carers, disabled and non-disabled community members have also rallied in Newcastle's Civic Park today, calling for funding to be restored to the system.
