Many of you will have seen the recent media coverage following Minister Mark Butlerโ€™s address about the future of the NDIS. We understand that news like this can create uncertainty, and you may be feeling worried about what it could mean for you or your family member.

The Government has shared its longโ€‘term direction for the NDIS, but the proposed changes will take time to design, consult on, and implement. Importantly nothing changes immediately with your current supports or services. Your dayโ€‘toโ€‘day arrangements continue as usual.

No matter how the NDIS evolves, our focus remains where it has always been โ€“ working with you to support personal goals, independence, wellbeing and connection to community.

We will continue to share any updates as we monitor information released by the Government and the NDIA.

We understand that news like this can be stressful. Remember to take care of yourself and ensure you rely on accurate, reputable sources of information.
