What’s Happening with the NDIS This Week?

There’s growing momentum around the NDIS this week, sparked by recent announcements from the 2024–25 Federal Budget and key legislative developments. It’s clear that 2025 will be a pivotal year for the scheme and the people it supports.

The Budget is Talking NDIS

In an effort to improve sustainability, the government has announced plans to cap the annual growth of the NDIS at 8%. This change is not about reducing participant support. Rather, it aims to reduce inefficiencies, deliver services more effectively, and build a more sustainable NDIS for the future.

Legislation Is Evolving

For Support Coordinators, this week presents a valuable opportunity to stay across the upcoming changes. The NDIA is hosting an online information session on Thursday, 27 March, focused on the evolving legislation and how it may impact plan delivery and implementation.

Helping Participants Maximise Their Plans

Also scheduled for Thursday is a participant-focused webinar, “Understanding the NDIS: Using an NDIS Plan.” This session will offer practical guidance for participants and families on how to navigate and maximise their plans. It’s a valuable opportunity to understand available supports and make confident, informed decisions.

What This Means for You

These changes reflect a push toward streamlined, participant-centred delivery. Whether you’re managing SDA housing, reviewing supports, or preparing for your next plan review—staying informed is key to making the most of your NDIS experience.
