So Joe NDIS Plan Management

26/08/2025

Minister Mark Butler has announced a $2 billion program called Thriving Kids.
It is designed to support children with "mild to moderate" autism and developmental delays.

Key details:

Planned to start in 2027
Will operate outside of the NDIS
Intended to help keep the NDIS sustainable

Currently, around 40% of NDIS participants have autism, and costs are projected to reach $64 billion by 2029. Thriving Kids will provide an additional support pathway for families, while the NDIS remains focused on people living with higher and more complex needs.

The NDIS has simplified therapy pricing by removing differences between states and territories, which means more consistent pricing across the country.

Some therapy costs have also been reduced, particularly in remote areas.

We understand that the recent changes to therapy pricing may have caused some disruption, but we’re here to help you through it. If you have any questions or need assistance with understanding these changes, we’re only a phone call (or email) away.
