There has been a lot of talk in community and in the media about these changes and what they mean.
We know for some people change can cause uncertainty, so we want to keep you informed about the changes and what they mean for you.
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will support you through the changes. You can visit their website Changes to NDIS legislation.
This page will also help you understand what you need to know now:
- what’s changing
- when changes will happen
- where you can get more information.
New framework planning
We heard from the NDIS Review that to make the NDIS more person-centred, we need:
- clearer processes for assessments and planning
- more transparent decision-making for funding
- greater flexibility in plans.
To do that, we are creating new framework plans.
All NDIS participants over 16 years of age will move to new framework plans gradually.
The changes will happen in stages, so many participants won’t see anything different for a while.
A person must be a NDIS participant to go through the new framework planning process.
A separate process is undertaken to become a NDIS participant and gain access to the NDIS.
