The NDIA has completed a review of policies and practices concerning NDIS debt and will repay some money to participants and providers. A debt can come about when a NDIS payment is made to a person or organisation not entitled to the payment.

NDIS providers of therapy supports, supported independent living, and support coordination will share in more than $45 million in funding as part of a program designed to support quality providers of disability services.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme is now supporting more than 739,000 Australians and their families.

The NDIS recognises the passing of Gavin Burner, a valued member of the Independent Advisory Council (IAC). He was also the Co-Chair of the Intellectual Disability Reference Group.

NDIA CEO Rebecca Falkingham is currently on personal leave due to illness. The NDIA Board has appointed Scott McNaughton as acting CEO in line with standard Commonwealth Public Service processes to ensure the continued day to day operation of the NDIS and delivery of work to progress the Government NDIS reform agenda.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will introduce changes to NDIS pricing from 1 July 2025 designed to ensure NDIS participants are charged in line with other Australians receiving these supports through Medicare or Private Health Insurance.
