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.

There are 2 upcoming planned multi-system outages.

On 5 September 2024, the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024 received Royal Assent. This means the Bill becomes an Act of Parliament – the law.

There is an upcoming planned outage. Planned outages allow us to update and improve our systems.

Today marks Wear it Purple Day, a national day of celebration to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people. The NDIA is committed to ensuring that people with disability from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, sistergirl and brotherboy (LGBTIQASB+) communities have an equal and equitable chance to benefit from the NDIS.
