NDIS Announces Upcoming Information Sessions on Planning and Budget Changes for Participants and Families

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is inviting current and prospective participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), along with their families and carers, to join a series of information sessions designed to explain recent changes to the NDIS Act that will impact participant planning and budgeting processes. The sessions will cover essential updates, aiming to clarify how these changes may affect participants’ future plans.

Understanding Key Changes to the NDIS Act

As the NDIS continues to evolve to better meet the needs of its participants, recent changes to the NDIS Act are set to impact the planning process for participant budgets. These updates, according to the NDIA, are intended to provide clearer guidance on how funds are managed within the scheme, ensuring that participants can access support in a streamlined manner.

Session Schedule and Flexibility

The NDIA recognizes the importance of flexibility, and therefore the information sessions will be offered over multiple dates throughout October and November. All sessions will be conducted via videoconference on Microsoft Teams, making it convenient for attendees to participate from their own homes.

The variety of dates ensures that as many people as possible can attend, regardless of their schedules. Registrations for each session will close two business days prior to the scheduled date, allowing the NDIA team ample time to prepare and distribute necessary login details.

Registration Details

To maintain an organized and efficient experience, the NDIA is requiring individual registrations for each attendee. This approach ensures that all participants receive unique links to join the sessions and facilitates a more personalized experience. Login information, including the Microsoft Teams link, will be sent to the registered email address two business days before each session. The NDIA advises all registrants to double-check their email information at the time of registration to avoid any issues.

Accessibility and Inclusivity at the Core

The NDIA places a strong emphasis on accessibility, ensuring that these information sessions are inclusive and available to all. Auslan interpreters and live captioning services will be provided, making the sessions accessible for attendees who are deaf or hard of hearing. Additionally, the NDIA encourages participants to reach out if they have any other accessibility requirements to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.

Where to Learn More and Register

For those interested in attending, detailed information about the planning and budget changes, as well as registration options, is available on the official NDIS website. This online resource provides further explanations of the session contents, guidance for participants, and additional support materials.

Participants are encouraged to take advantage of these information sessions and additional resources, as understanding the planning and budget adjustments will be instrumental in ensuring participants can continue to access the services and support they require. The NDIA remains committed to guiding the community through this transition, providing clarity and accessibility every step of the way.
