There is less support for disabled people in a remote Western Australian town under the NDIS compared with the old state-based system, a royal commission has been told.
Fitzroy Crossing, 400km east of Broome, used to have a Disability Service Commission office that Topsy Jackamarra says would visit with her disabled daughter Ronita Jackamarra.
"Before the NDIS I found it much easier to get support for Ronita on the basis that they were based locally in Fitzroy central in town," Mr Jackamarra told the hearing in Alice Springs on Wednesday.
