The Australian Parliament has approved changes to NDIS legislation. This means there will be some changes to how the NDIS works, starting from 3 October 2024. There has been a lot of talk about the changes and what they mean – in the community, in the media and probably among your family and friends too. I know for some people change can cause uncertainty, so we want to keep you informed about the changes and what they mean for you. I want to reassure you that for most people, not much will change about the way you experience the NDIS now. You will start to see more practical changes when we start to transition to the new planning framework later next year. The NDIA will support you through the changes every step of the way. We’ll tell you before things change, and what you need to do. One thing I want to be clear about is the purpose of the NDIS will not change. It will continue to provide NDIS participants with disability related supports.
