New NDIS Planning Framework – Live Testing Now Underway

The NDIA has officially begun live testing of the new Support Needs Assessment as part of the New Framework Planning model expected to roll out gradually from mid-2026.

Early testing is focused on usability, accessibility, and participant experience, with a broader second phase commencing in March.

What this means:

• Greater consistency in funding outcomes
• Structured assessments using the I-CAN tool
• Longer plan periods with fewer reviews
• Increased transparency around budget decisions

The rollout will be phased. Many participants will not see immediate changes, and NDIA has advised they will contact participants directly before any transition occurs.

We know Support Coordinators are already receiving questions. If you would like to talk through how this may impact participants you support, we are here to collaborate.

Families Raising Concerns About Ongoing NDIS Changes

A recent ABC News article shares the experience of Penny Lalor and her daughters, Caitlin and Bethany, as they navigate another reduction to Penny’s NDIS plan.

The article highlights broader concerns from families who say funding cuts and reassessments are creating stress, uncertainty, and financial strain. Data shared in the report suggests some reassessed plans have seen funding reduced, while appeals to the Administrative Review Tribunal continue to rise.

The government maintains reforms are necessary to ensure long-term sustainability of the scheme, while many participants and families are calling for clearer communication and stability during this period of change.

As reforms continue in 2026, staying informed and supported is more important than ever.

If you have questions about your NDIS plan or upcoming changes, our team is here to help.

NDIS Changes Continue to Raise Questions

A recent Guardian article explores the ongoing pressure facing the NDIS, with advocates and families expressing concern about funding adjustments and upcoming reforms.

Reform is aimed at improving fairness and sustainability, but for participants, clear communication and stability remain essential.

Progress doesn’t always look big. Sometimes it’s getting out the door, trying something new, or sticking to a routine for the day. Those moments matter and they add up.

Celebrating small wins is part of building confidence and independence. One step at a time is still progress.

A Support Coordinator helps participants understand their NDIS plan and connect with the right services. They can support decision making, help resolve issues, and guide participants through the system.

For many people, having a Support Coordinator makes the NDIS easier to manage.
