Plan Managers are governed by strict NDIA rules and oversight by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. This means they often need extra detail or confirmation from NDIS planners or my NDIS contacts before paying invoices. While this can sometimes feel frustrating, these checks exist to ensure funding is used correctly and participants are protected under the scheme.

Everyone should be able to enjoy a day at the beach. Across Australia, many beaches now offer accessibility features such as beach matting, wheelchair access, accessible toilets and beach wheelchairs. A wonderful non-for-profit organisation, Accessible Beaches, has made it easier for everyone to find beaches that meet their access needs.

The Accessible Beaches website is simple to use. You can search by state or location to find nearby beaches, then click on each listing to see detailed information about what accessibility features are available. This includes parking, paths, beach matting, accessible amenities and whether beach wheelchairs are provided. The site helps you plan ahead so there are no surprises on the day.

Access to the beach isn’t a luxury, it’s something everyone deserves. Thanks to Accessible Beaches Australia, families, carers and people with disability can make informed choices and enjoy time by the ocean with confidence. If you or someone you care for loves the beach, this is a fantastic resource worth sharing.

The NDIA has shared more information about new framework plans. An announcement made in December confirmed these plans will begin rolling out from mid-2026, using a phased approach.

Framework plans introduce a new planning process. This process is designed to improve consistency and place a stronger focus on a person’s disability support needs, rather than functional impairment alone.

With changes introduced in October last year, to Short Term Accommodation (now called Short Term Respite), participants generally can’t use this support in a different state or territory to where they live. There are limited exceptions, for example, participants who live close to a state border.

This clarification from the NDIA is part of a broader effort to establish clearer rules for Short Term Respite. The focus is on reinforcing that this support is intended as respite, not accommodation for holidays.

We understand this can feel confusing and stressful. It’s important to be very careful when arranging Short Term Respite. This support must be appropriate for you and should be discussed with your planner or my NDIS contact, or specifically referenced in your plan as a support you can use your funding for.

Short Term Respite can be a high-cost support. Before engaging with this support, it’s strongly recommended that you confirm that using your funding this way aligns with the intent of your plan. Where Short Term Respite has been used without this confirmation, we have unfortunately seen large invoices declined by the NDIA.

The NDIA has released an important update about funding periods. In the latest Your Plan OG, a key paragraph about overspending funding periods has been removed. We are already seeing an increase in claims being rejected by the NDIA because of this change.

This affects all participants who have funding periods in their plan. If a service is delivered in a funding period that has no money left, the NDIA will not pay the invoice. Funding periods are designed to help spread funding across the plan and support participants to stay within their budget. This update means it is now more important than ever to manage spending carefully.

There are a few simple steps you can take to protect yourself and avoid unpaid invoices:
What Participants can do:
• Ensure you have service agreements with all your providers.
• Check your budgets often using our plan management app, the my NDIS portal, or by contacting us.
• Reach out to your providers if funding is being used faster than expected.
• If you have a Support Coordinator, they should be helping you monitor this.

What Providers can do:
• Make sure all participants have clear service agreements outlining allocated funding and frequency of supports.
• Keep an open dialogue with your participants around their budget when funding periods are in place.

We understand this update may be frustrating, but being aware of it is essential.

Today we acknowledge International Day of People with Disability and this year’s theme, “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress”. An inclusive society is one where everyone feels valued and able to take part in their community. When we design systems, services and attitudes that include people of all abilities, we create stronger, healthier and more connected communities.

While today is an important moment for reflection and celebration, it should not be the only day we hold these conversations. Inclusion should guide the way we think, plan and act every day. Positive change happens when we continue to learn from the disability community and recognise the skills, strengths and contributions that enrich our workplaces, communities and relationships.

International Day of People with Disability gives us the chance to focus on the disability community and to amplify their voices, achievements and leadership. By committing to inclusion every day of the year, we help build a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

We’re often asked whether NDIS consumables funding can be used to buy footwear. As with most funding questions, the answer depends on each participant’s individual circumstances.

When specialised footwear is clearly listed in a plan, it means funding has been intentionally included. When it isn’t, it can be harder to determine if the item is considered an NDIS-funded support.

Here are the key questions to consider:
1. Does the item relate to the participant’s disability support needs?
2. Does the NDIS plan reference foot care, podiatry, orthoses or other Assistive Technology?
3. Is the footwear standard or specialised/custom?

Read on to understand why these questions matter. If you’re still unsure whether NDIS funding can be used for footwear, speak with your My NDIS contact for guidance.

When it comes to deciding what is reasonable and necessary, there is only one role within the NDIS that has this authority: an NDIS Planner. Yet, with so much misinformation circulating, it’s easy to see why participants and providers sometimes get confused.

Getting this right is critical. If a decision is made based on advice from someone who doesn’t hold this authority, participants and providers can be left covering the cost. That’s why it’s essential to understand the limitations of each role.

10/11/2025

Service agreements don’t just protect participants. For providers, they are more than just paperwork, they’re an essential step. They create transparency, safeguard your business, and strengthen the relationship with participants.

By clearly setting out what services will be delivered, who will deliver them, how often, and at what cost, you reduce the risk of confusion or disputes. Agreements also demonstrate professionalism and build trust, showing participants that you are committed to fairness and accountability.

From a compliance perspective, service agreements are critical. The NDIA increasingly asks for evidence before approving payments, and having agreements in place provides that documentation. This not only helps you get paid on time but also lowers the risk of payment delays or refusals.

24/10/2025

We finally have a new operational guideline for Short Term Accommodation, now renamed Short Term Respite (STR) following a terminology change.

The NDIA consulted with participants, families, and carers about this shift, and most agreed the new term better reflects what the support actually provides, time apart and assistance for both participants and their informal supports.

The new guideline is far more detailed, 16 pages compared to 7 previously but understanding what that detail means in practice is the real challenge. It’s clear the NDIA is tightening its focus on who can access Short Term Respite, with much greater detail around eligibility for both adults and children.

The change in terminology also reframes the intent of the support: STR is designed to give informal supports a break, not to serve as a “getaway” or chance to “try new things.”

We’re preparing a side-by-side comparison of the old and new guidelines, which will be shared soon in a comprehensive blog post breaking down the changes in plain language for participants and providers.

In the meantime, here’s a quick look at the key differences.
