Hi all!
If you self-direct (employ) your supports or use independent contractors, or even use non-registered providers please read this and have your say.
This would be a huge change and so much work for families and Participants already under pressure.

There are some changes happening and some very worried families and individuals, we are waiting for more clarity. Hang in there everyone 💙

From 3 October 2024 there will be a new definition of NDIS supports. This means clearer guidelines on what your NDIS funding can and cannot be spent on. This change is based on current guidance and will affect all participants.

What’s changing:
• You can only use your NDIS funding for things that are defined as NDIS supports.
• The new definition will include both what you can and cannot use your funding for.

We're using feedback from recent public consultations and sector engagement to finalise the new rule.
We will share all the details about the new rule before it starts on 3 October.

Check out 'Mindfulness on Demand', a podcast series designed especially for carers.

Episodes cover managing anxiety, sleep, ‘on the go’ mindfulness and self-compassion.

Being a carer can cause stress and anxiety. With practice we can build the ‘mindful muscle’ which means we have greater capacity to meet present moment demands with more skill and awareness, even if the present is unpleasant.
