Abstract

Williams and Smith (2014) and Duffy and Williams (2012) discuss a number of pertinent issues regarding implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), particularly in light of European experience. The majority of disability systems in Western Europe followed the Recommendation of the European Council in 1998, which was mainly intended to provide support for elderly individuals. Others, such as the Dutch system, were developed in the early 1990s and incorporated mental illness from its onset. In Germany, the main focus was on physical disabilities and did not include mental illness and dementia until 2008.
