NDIS changes from 1 October

If you or a family member is an NDIS participant, has your plan been renewed or reassessed recently? What changed, if anything?

Social, civic and community participation budgets are being halved as plans are renewed from 1 October. What do those supports currently make possible, and what would replace them?

The Government says scheme costs are rising too fast for the NDIS to last; advocates say cuts will leave people isolated. How should sustainability and individual need be balanced?

For support workers and providers: how are the 1 October changes affecting rostering, staffing or the services you can offer?

The NDIA says plans go up and down as needs change; advocates say decisions are getting harder to challenge. What would make reviews and appeals fairer and clearer?

Parents of young children: have you been told whether your child will move to Thriving Kids, and do you know what services will be available near you?

Queensland says it needs clearer definitions and guarantees before signing; the federal Government says Queensland should honour its earlier agreement. What information would help families in Queensland right now?

Thriving Kids covers children up to eight. What should happen for children who age out at nine but do not qualify for the NDIS?

The changes roll out over 12 months as plans are created, renewed or reassessed. Is the timing and communication clear enough for participants to plan ahead?

The reforms include stronger fraud and provider rules. Have you seen practices in the scheme that these rules should address, or that they might affect unfairly?

Teachers, GPs and early childhood workers: how ready are mainstream services to support children who would previously have entered the NDIS?
