Navigate NDIS & Support at home Like a Pro

Plan management is entering a new phase. For years, participants have relied on plan managers to handle the financial side of their NDIS plans, from processing provider invoices to keeping track of available funding.

Support Coordination has become an important part of the NDIS for many participants, helping people understand their plans, connect with providers, manage challenges and build a support network around their goals. But the way Support Coordination is delivered is set to change.

The way the NDIS understands a person's support needs is set to change. As part of the NDIS's new approach to planning, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is introducing a new Support Needs Assessment, using the I-CAN v6 tool as its foundation.

The NDIS is entering (yet) another significant period of reform. New legislation aimed at securing the long-term future of the National Disability Insurance Scheme has now passed Parliament. The changes are intended to make the Scheme more sustainable, strengthen safeguards, improve how funding is managed, and clarify who can access and receive NDIS supports.

When someone leaves prison, their sentence may be over, but the challenges aren't.

From 1 July 2026, the NDIA has officially changed the name Short-Term Respite back to Short-Term Accommodation (STA). While the name may sound familiar, there are also important updates to how STA is funded and claimed.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has introduced the 2026–27 NDIS Pricing Schedule, effective from 1 July 2026. While pricing updates are released each year, this year's changes also introduce a new way of presenting pricing information and include structural changes that may affect how some supports are delivered and claimed.

Supporting a person with disability, coordinating complex needs, advocating through systems, or simply managing day-to-day life under the NDIS can be rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. Burnout is something many participants, families, carers, and support professionals experience, yet it often goes unrecognised until it starts affecting wellbeing, relationships, and the ability to keep going.
