NDIS money is not the same thing as healthy service coverage. This view shows whether BALLINA, NSW sits inside a state market with thin provider supply, captured payment flows, and too few local disability-focused or community-controlled alternatives. This matters here because BALLINA, NSW already shows $12K in justice-related funding moving through local entities.
