Every Australian Counts
The Birth of the NDIS
Michael Epis, Anita Phillips
The NDIS has directly helped more than 600,000 Australians-and indirectly more than two million-vastly improving the lives of a group of people who had been left behind: people with disability.
It is the most audacious and ambitious piece of social architecture since Medicare
With its beginnings in the shadows of the global financial crisis, the scheme succeeded against all odds. How?
The NDIS came into being via a multi-pronged campaign that turned politics upside down. Instead of government making promises and persuading the people, the opposite occurred. Under the guiding hand of Bill Shorten and Jenny Macklin, Labor brought together warring disability groups and gave them a platform to tell their stories. The nation listened; Canberra listened.

The creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme is a political miracle, a victory in the most difficult economic times, where all previous efforts had failed. It is a restoration of rights to those Australians who had been denied their fair go.
Every Australian Counts tells that story.
Anita Phillips
Dr Anita Frances Phillips first suggested the idea for this book, which draws in part on interviews conducted for her PhD, ‘The process of policy development using the NDIS as a case study’. Dr Phillips was a former member of the Queensland Parliament who passed away early in 2023, not long after this book was underway. She was a trailblazer for women in politics and a true champion of the NDIS.
