Upcoming Changes to the NDIS – What You Need to Know
At Pinarc, we recognise our community relies on us for clear communication and support, especially during times of change. We are proud to be a registered provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The Australian Parliament has recently approved updates to NDIS legislation, with some changes taking effect from 3 October 2024. These include a defined list of supports that customers, their families and carers can use their NDIS funding to access. Information on what the NDIS will fund can be found via the link below:
We know that change can sometimes lead to uncertainty, and we want to ensure that our customers, families, carers and community are well-informed and supported.
Importantly, the core purpose of the NDIS remains unchanged. The agency (NDIS) will continue to provide crucial disability-related supports to customers, ensuring that you receive the services and funding you need.
Here’s what you need to know now about the upcoming changes
New Definition of NDIS Supports
Starting 3 October 2024, a new definition will clarify what NDIS funding can and cannot be used for. While this update will apply to all customers, it aims to provide clearer guidance on approved supports. The newly finalised definition will be shared by the agency, after consultations with the community.
Spending Rules
From this date, customers will need to ensure their NDIS funding is only spent on approved NDIS supports. In case of accidental misallocation of funds, the agency will work with customers to help them understand the new rules and redirect their spending.
Plan Budgets
After 3 October 2024, when a customer’s plan is reviewed by the NDIS, you will see a total budget amount instead of line-by-line supports. This change will help clarify the overall funding available and ensure budgets can over the full period of the plan.
Pinarc will maintain a watching brief as changes occur.
As we navigate these changes, I want to remind you that Pinarc remains unwavering in our commitment to delivering high quality services to our community. Our investments ensures that we are equipped to meet the evolving demands and change. Thank you for your trust and ongoing partnership as we navigate these changes together.
