The Australian Government has introduced the most significant changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) since its launch. These updates started rolling out in 2024 and are designed to improve accessibility, streamline processes, and better support participants.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recently introduced updates to its impairment notice processes, aimed at enhancing clarity, fairness, and efficiency for participants. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new, what it means, and how it might affect participants.
International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is a United Nations (UN) day observed internationally on the 3rd December each year. It aims to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.
Held in Queensland at the end of November each year, Disability Action Week promotes inclusion and raises awareness about the rights and contributions of people with disability. It’s about sparking conversation and encouraging everyone to create more inclusive communities. Check out events in our local communities.

The NDIS has introduced a new list of supports to outline what participants can and can’t spend NDIS funds on. Most of the items on the list are not new and because of this the changes might not impact the supports that you currently receive. However, the lists help to resolve some grey areas that were previously confusing for participants and providers.
When selecting an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) Plan Manager, it’s important to choose someone who understands your specific needs and can effectively manage your funds. Here are key things to consider.
