Is the Federal Government’s NDIS “Reset” Just a Return to the Pre‑NDIS Era?

Are we quietly drifting back to the days before the NDIS existed? Block funding to states. Centralised control. Regulated providers. If you lived through state‑based disability systems before 2013, the language coming from Canberra feels uncomfortably familiar.

What is and is not funded by the NDIS?

As of 3 Oct 2024, participants will only be able to use their NDIS funds for items listed as approved supports. This change has occured recently as a result of new legislation. It can be frustrating and hard to know what is supported by the NDIS. As a Plan Manager, we will keep on top of what is permitted to be claimed and guide you accordingly.

Looking for a good Plan Manager to manage your NDIS plan

We understand the struggle of those who are new to NDIS. It is common and recommended for participants to have their NDIS plan managed by a registered plan manager, taking away the stress and hassle of submitting your claims to NDIS yourself. Ultimately, for those under plan management, you still have control over your NDIS plan. In our blog, we explain what a good plan manager will do for you.
