Despite paying taxes and the NDIS levy, New Zealanders who have come to Australia since 2001 cannot receive many social services and have taken the issue to the disability Royal Commission.
Some are so financially stressed they have been forced to return to New Zealand despite Australia being their home for many years - some for almost two decades - so they can receive support for their disability, or that of their child or relative.
Australians moving to New Zealand qualify for support after two years.
