Pulling back from social activities, or sudden changes in ways of communicating can be a sign someone's struggling. If a friend's gone quiet, send them a message to let them know you’re still there whenever they’re ready to talk.

Whilst I haven’t read the entirety of this update, I wanted to share it with you. Changes occur Nov 24th. More info as I digest if anything changes for TWC.

📢 We've updated the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26.

The Pricing Arrangement and Price Limits lists the price limits for supports and any requirements related to claiming those supports. We regularly make changes to these documents to ensure that pricing and claiming guidance is in line with current policy.

The updates take effect on 24 November 2025.

By sharing this information earlier, we're helping to ensure:

👉 participants and families have more time to plan their funding

👉 providers have more time to prepare their services.

We have also released a new Operational Guideline for Therapy Supports.
