📢 Are you an NDIS Participant? Don't forget: YOU have the power! 💪

Navigating the NDIS can sometimes feel complicated, but the whole scheme is built on one very simple idea: Choice and Control.

Your rights aren't just suggestions; they are there to ensure you live an inclusive, fulfilling life and are treated with dignity.

Here is a quick refresher on your core rights as a participant. 👇

✨ THE BIG 5 NDIS RIGHTS ✨

1️⃣ Choice & Control 👉 You are the boss of your plan. You get to choose who delivers your supports, how they do it, and you can change providers whenever you want.

2️⃣ Dignity & Respect 🤝 You have the right to be treated fairly and equally. Your culture, values, and beliefs must be respected by the people supporting you.

3️⃣ Safety First 🛡️ You have the absolute right to live free from abuse, neglect, and violence. Your services must be safe and high-quality.

4️⃣ Your Privacy Matters 🔒 Your personal information belongs to you. Providers cannot share your details without your permission.

5️⃣ To Be Heard & Understood 🗣️ Information must be given to you in a way that makes sense (like Easy Read or via an interpreter). If you need help speaking up, you have the right to use an advocate.

🛑 What if your rights aren't being met?

If you feel unsafe, unheard, or disrespected, speak up! You can talk to your provider directly, or contact the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission at ndiscommission.gov.au.​

Never forget that your NDIS plan is designed to work for you.

At Australian Support Services WA , we're committed to upholding your rights every single day. Have questions? Contact us anytime.

NDIS Standards 2026: What Quality Support Looks Like

As an NDIS participant, your support should be defined by transparency, efficiency, and clear communication. Quality service is more than a requirement—it is the foundation of your independence.

In 2026, we believe every participant should expect the following benchmarks from their provider:
1. ⚡ 7-Day Claim Processing

Timely service is critical. The 2026 standard for compliant claims has shifted from 14 days down to 7 days, ensuring your supports are funded promptly and without disruption.
2. 💎 Real-Time Financial Visibility

You deserve full oversight of your plan. Your provider should offer clear, real-time updates on funding utilization so you can manage your budget with confidence and zero surprises.
3. 📞 Proactive Communication

You should never have to chase answers. Quality providers maintain open lines of communication, providing regular updates and prompt responses to ensure you stay informed.
4. 🎯 Results-Driven Personalization

Support should be tailored to the individual. Your provider must work collaboratively with you to adapt services to your specific goals and changing needs.

At Australian Support Services WA , we combine industry best practices with tailored support to ensure your NDIS plan works for you.

🔔 Important NDIS Updates for 2026 — What You Need to Know

As we step into the new year, several confirmed reforms to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will affect both participants and providers.

Here’s a clear snapshot of what’s ahead:

📅 From 1 July 2026 — Mandatory Registration

SIL (Supported Independent Living) providers and digital platform providers will be required to register with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

Further transition guidance is expected early this year.

🔄 Mid-2026 — New Planning Framework

All participants will progressively transition to a new planning framework over the next four years. Key improvements include:

Clearer and more consistent assessment processes

Greater transparency in funding decisions

Increased flexibility, with clearly specified funding amounts

📋 Support Needs Assessment

A new assessment process will be introduced to better evaluate individual support needs and align funding more accurately with participant goals.

✅ Already in Effect

Updated definition of NDIS supports (since October 2024), clarifying what can and cannot be funded

Plan variations can now include funding increases or decreases (since March 2025)

📢 Public Consultation

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will conduct public consultation on planning framework rules in early 2026. This is an important opportunity to have your say.

We’re committed to staying informed and supporting you through every stage of these changes. If you have questions or need clarity on how this may affect you, please reach out to our team.

NDIS 2025 Year‑End Update: What It Means For You 📊✨

As 2025 comes to a close, the NDIS is going through major reforms focused on clearer rules, more use of technology in planning, and keeping the Scheme financially sustainable. 💡📈 These changes will affect how participants access supports and how providers like us operate every day. 👥🏠


What’s changing? 🔄

Changes to the NDIS Act and related rules are being phased in, with clearer boundaries on what the NDIS will fund and a stronger focus on fraud control and payment integrity. ⚖️🛡️



From 3 October 2025, all NDIS claims must be lodged within two years of the support start date, and older claims will be automatically rejected by NDIS systems. ⏰❌



A national assessment approach and new digital systems are being introduced, with a move toward more computer‑generated plans and less individual manual drafting over the next couple of years. 🤖📱



Mandatory registration is planned for more providers, including Supported Independent Living, platform‑based services and support coordinators, with transitions expected to begin no earlier than 1 July 2025 and continue into 2026. 📋🔒



What this means for our community 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Participants and families may notice changes in how needs are assessed, what evidence is requested, and how plans are reviewed or reassessed. 📝👀



Providers are expected to meet tighter compliance, documentation and pricing expectations, including around claims timing, travel and other billable items. ✅💼



How we’re supporting you 🤝❤️

As an NDIS provider, we are updating our processes so your supports stay compliant with the new rules and as smooth and transparent as possible. 🛤️✨ We will keep you informed about these reforms and are available to talk through what they might mean for your current plan or upcoming plan review. 🗣️📞

🌟 Important NDIS Updates: What Participants & Providers Need to Know for 2025! 🌟

Major reforms are underway, focused on improving safeguards and ensuring the NDIS is sustainable. Here are the 5 key changes and their dates:

1. 🛡️ Expanded Mandatory Registration (From Late 2025)

Who is affected? SIL providers, Support Coordinators, and Online Platform Providers must register.

The Goal: Bring thousands of unregistered services under regulation to boost safeguards and service quality.

2. ✅ Clearer Definition of Supports (Transition Ends Oct 2025)

The Rule: NDIS funding strictly covers only supports listed on the official NDIS Supports List.

Key Date: The 12-month transition period, which began in October 2024, ends on October 2, 2025.

3. ⏱️ Flexible Plan Variations (Started Early 2025)

The Change: The NDIA can quickly adjust participant plans for changing needs or immediate risks.

Benefit: Allows for more timely and responsive support, avoiding a full, lengthy plan reassessment.

4. 💰 Quarterly Funding Cycles (Applying to New Plans Since May 2025)

How Funding is Released: Plans shift from upfront annual payments to smaller, typically quarterly funding instalments.

Purpose: Helps participants manage their budgets better, reducing overspending for scheme sustainability.

5. 💲 Pricing Changes Effective 24 November 2025

What is Affected: New arrangements impact therapy rates, travel allowances, Assistive Technology claims, and billing rules.

Goal: Establish fairer, sustainable pricing and ensure clearer billing and claiming rules across the sector.

Don't be caught off guard! Review how these reforms affect your plan or service delivery.

World Occupational Therapy Day! 🎉💙👐

As a proud NDIS Provider, today we are celebrating the incredible Occupational Therapists (OTs) who work with our participants to help them transform possibility into reality!
Occupational Therapy is the foundation of client-centred support, focused on promoting wellbeing through meaningful everyday activities 🏠💪. OTs deliver evidence-based interventions central to the NDIS’s core values: empowering participants with choice, control, and greater independence 🙌🦾.

The global theme is "Occupational Therapy in Action," and we are proud to facilitate access to this vital action every day! Our role as a provider is to ensure our participants are connected to the right OT expertise 🤝 needed to align their supports with their specific NDIS goals 🎯.

How OT “In Action” Benefits Participants:

Building Functional Independence: OTs assess and train participants in essential daily living skills—from managing personal care 🚿🪥 to complex cooking skills 🍳—using practical, skill-building strategies.

Enhancing Participation: They overcome environmental barriers, assist with prescribing Assistive Technology (AT) 🦼📱, and plan home modifications 🏡 for safety and engagement.

Creating a Rewarding Life: By focusing on individual aspirations, OTs help participants develop routines and skills for a fulfilling, independent life 😊🌈, directly improving overall quality of life.

We thank every dedicated OT across the country for your clinical expertise, creativity, and commitment to the NDIS community 🙏🧑‍⚕️.
Let’s continue creating those possibilities, together! 🌟

🌟✨ Happy Diwali from Australian Support Services (WA) ! 🪔

Across Australia and around the world, communities are celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It’s a time that symbolises the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

For many, Diwali is more than a festival — it’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what brings meaning, joy, and unity into our lives.

These values deeply connect with the heart of our NDIS community. Every day, we see the power of light in action — through compassion, empowerment, and inclusion. Each moment of support, every step towards independence, and every shared success reflects that same spirit of Diwali: lighting the way forward, together. 💛

As we join our staff, participants, and families who celebrate Diwali, we also celebrate the light that shines in our shared community — a light of care, understanding, and hope. 🌸

Wishing everyone a Diwali filled with happiness, health, and new beginnings. ✨

♿ Capital Supports Budget – Big Purchases for Independence
Capital supports fund larger, one-off purchases like power wheelchairs 🦽, home modifications (ramps, accessible bathrooms) 🏡, or car modifications 🚙. This budget is specific, so funds must be spent on the approved items in your plan. These investments help you gain greater independence and freedom 🕊️.

💡 Capacity Building Supports Budget – Building Your Skills and Confidence
This budget helps you grow your independence over time. It covers therapy 🧑‍⚕️ (occupational, physiotherapy), support coordination 🤝, education 🎓, training, and programs that help you join the community or find work 💼. Capacity Building is about making you stronger and more confident in managing your life and supports 💪.

Knowing the difference between these budgets helps you make informed choices and get the most from your plan. If you need help understanding your plan or making it work for you, we at Peaceful Life are here to support every step of your journey ❤️.
