Strong Foundation Support

17/10/2025

If you’ve got a plan review or meeting coming up, don’t skip this step.
Your goals are the foundation of your NDIS funding. Everything from supports to capacity building to community participation must link back to them.

Here’s what that means.

When your goals are clear and broad, the NDIA has flexibility to fund a wider range of supports.
When they’re too narrow, you risk missing out on services that could actually help.

For example:
🚫 “I want to learn to cook spaghetti.” → Too specific.
✅ “I want to build skills in independent cooking.” → Covers learning recipes, shopping, kitchen safety, and confidence with meal prep.

Your goals should:
• Be about you what you want to learn, do, or achieve.
• Reflect your current life stage and priorities.
• Be realistic and achievable
• Show progress toward independence and inclusion.

🟦 I also provide Support Coordination and Psychosocial Recovery Coaching.

If you’re an NDIS participant, you can actually appoint a nominee to talk to the NDIS on your behalf.
But here’s the catch don’t choose your support coordinator or any paid worker. That’s a serious conflict of interest.

There are two types of nominees:

Plan Nominee: Can help prepare, manage, and change your plan.
Correspondence Nominee: Can only communicate with the NDIA (letters, updates, etc.) but can’t manage your plan.

Pick someone you trust a family member, friend, or someone who genuinely looks out for your best interests.
And if your nominee isn’t acting right, you can remove them anytime by calling the NDIS.

NDIS Debt Recovery – What You Need to Know

Did you know the NDIS can raise debts against participants, nominees, and providers?
It’s not just about fraud even small errors or duplicated claims can trigger a review.

https://www.ndis.gov.au/about-us/improving-integrity-and-preventing-fraud/debt-assessment-management-and-recovery

Here’s what’s happening 👇
The NDIA has started reviewing claims more closely.
They’re checking for:
• Payments that were duplicated
• Supports that weren’t actually delivered
• Invoices that don’t match the evidence
• False or inconsistent reports (including AI-generated ones)

The good news is: this isn’t automated like RoboDebt.
Each case is reviewed by a human panel legal staff, senior NDIA officers, and other specialists.

If the NDIA contacts you, don’t panic.
You have the right to respond, show your evidence, and even ask for a reconsideration, waiver, or write-off.

📞 Need help?
Participants: 1800 800 110 or Providers: 1300 311 675

Keep your records, keep your invoices, and stay informed.
It’s your plan, your funding, and your responsibility.

NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits Update

📢 We've updated the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26.

The Pricing Arrangement and Price Limits lists the price limits for supports and any requirements related to claiming those supports. We regularly make changes to these documents to ensure that pricing and claiming guidance is in line with current policy.

The updates take effect on 24 November 2025.

By sharing this information earlier, we're helping to ensure:

👉 participants and families have more time to plan their funding

👉 providers have more time to prepare their services.

We have also released a new Operational Guideline for Therapy Supports.

A heartbreaking reminder of why strong safeguards matter.

A Queensland provider was fined $2.2M after a participant died under supervision failure.

Every provider and support worker has a duty to keep people safe and this is what happens when systems and training break down.

I believe every participant deserves care that’s safe, consistent, and accountable.

Proceedings began against the now-defunct provider following the death of a Queensland participant in 2023. The penalty is the highest civil sanction imposed on an NDIS provider to date.
