🔄 NDIS PACE Plans – What’s Changing?
If you're now on a PACE NDIS Plan, here's what you need to know 👇

📆 No More Full Upfront Payments
Instead of one big payment, your funds are now released in smaller scheduled amounts.
➡️ Most: Quarterly (every 12 weeks)
➡️ Some supports (like Home & Living): Monthly

💸 What If You Don’t Use All Your Funds?
✅ Leftover funds roll over to the next period
⛔ But once your plan ends, any unspent funds are lost

🚫 You Can’t Overspend
Each 12-week budget is fixed.
👉 If you go over, NDIS won’t cover it — you pay the difference.

🔁 Can You Move Funds Between Periods?
Nope ❌ Funds can’t be shifted between periods unless your plan is officially changed.

🛠️ Need More Flexibility Early On?
You can:
📝 Ask for your plan to be front-loaded during your meeting
🔄 Request monthly releases instead of quarterly
❗ Need more funding? Request a plan reassessment

🔍 Why the Change?
✔️ To help you manage your budget better
✔️ Prevent early overspending
✔️ Make NDIS more sustainable

📌 What Should You Do Now?
🔹 Keep track of your budget each period
🔹 Use budgeting tools or apps
🔹 Work with your support coordinator to plan ahead

💬 Confused about PACE or your plan?
We’re here to help you feel confident and in control 💙

Empowering Lives Through Increased NDIS Funding and Support🫶

We are excited to share that the Australian government has committed to substantial increases in funding for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This significant boost in resources is a testament to our nation's dedication to supporting individuals with disabilities, ensuring they receive the necessary support to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

What This Means for NDIS Participants:

1. Enhanced Quality of Care🌟: Additional resources will enable service providers to improve the quality of care and support they offer. This means better training for staff, more innovative solutions, and higher standards across the board. The NDIS News highlights the 2024 budget provisions that include significant investments in workforce development and technology.

2. Expanded Access to Services✨: With increased funding, more individuals will have access to essential services and supports tailored to their unique needs. This includes everything from daily living assistance to specialised therapies and equipment. According to the NDIS, these enhancements will allow for a broader reach and more personalised support for participants.

3. Greater Community Inclusion🌏: Funding will also be directed towards initiatives that promote inclusion and participation in the community. This ensures that individuals with disabilities can enjoy greater social interaction, employment opportunities, and overall community engagement. The Department of Social Services outlines how these initiatives are designed to create a more inclusive society.

4. Improved Mental Health Support💚: Recognising the importance of mental health, part of the funding will enhance mental health services within the NDIS framework. Comprehensive support that includes mental well-being is essential for a holistic approach to care. The NDIS emphasises the integration of mental health services as a key component of participant support.

5. Support for Families and Carers🤝: Increased funding will also provide additional support for families and carers, recognising their vital role in the lives of NDIS participants. This includes respite services, counselling, and resources to help them better support their loved ones. Detailed information is available from the NDIS, which highlights the new initiatives aimed at supporting carers.

This commitment to increased funding is a significant step forward in our collective effort to empower individuals with disabilities. By providing the necessary resources and support, we are helping to create a more inclusive and equitable society.

Let's continue to advocate for and support these positive changes, ensuring that every Australian with a disability has the opportunity to thrive.
