The delay of a major report into plans to overhaul the $56 billion National Disability Insurance Scheme has been labelled "disrespectful," as disability advocates plead for participants to be protected from harm.
A parliamentary inquiry into Labor's proposed changes will hand down its report on Friday afternoon, after a last-minute decision earlier this week to delay its release.
The Albanese government is trying to claw back billions in savings to stop the NDIS from continuing to grow at an "unsustainable" pace, under changes that will kick 160,000 people off the scheme.
Public hearings have been told by disability groups the reform would lead to people dying, while increasing complexity for support providers.
People with Disability Australia interim president Jarrod Sandell-Hay, also an NDIS participant, said he hoped the report acknowledged concerns aired during the inquiry.
