NDIS knockbacks rising: how to give your application the best chance. https://buff.ly/K9eMDBM
ID: A woman stands against a bright yellow background, smiling and giving two thumbs up. The text above her says, “With the support of an independent advocate, I was able to… get help to apply for the NDIS.” A pink label reads, “Independent advocacy only for you,” and the Disability Advocacy logo and website “buff.ly/iZeQGs5” appear at the bottom.

Virgin Australia and Adelaide Airport have launched an Australian-first accessibility program. ✈️

The 'Try Before You Buy' program is the first of its kind in Australia, offering a fully simulated travel experience.

Participants can book, check-in, board and sit on an aircraft - without the plane ever leaving the gate.

The initiative is designed to reduce anxiety and build confidence for individuals who may find flying challenging, including those with disabilities or sensory sensitivities.

We’re introducing changes to help participants more easily manage their budgets.

If you’re starting a new NDIS plan or going through a reassessment, your plan will now usually have three-month funding periods.

Funding periods define when your plan’s funds will become available to use. These new three-month funding periods will help:

✔️ reduce the risk of running out of funds early

✔️ ensure supports are available when they are needed.

This approach is similar to the way people receive salaries or other government payments.

The change will be rolled out gradually, with participants only impacted when they receive a new or reassessed plan.

Funding periods will generally be spread evenly across the plan.

This change will not affect the total amount of funding in a participant’s plan, only when the funding becomes available.
