NDIS under pressure!

NDIS plans will be computer-generated, with human involvement dramatically cut under sweeping overhaul.

Funding and support plans for national disability insurance scheme participants will be generated by a computer program and staff will have no discretion to amend them, under a major overhaul of the NDIS to be rolled out next year, Guardian Australia can reveal.

Exclusive: Staff were told of major changes to the way NDIS funding and support plans will be made during a recent internal briefing

Why NDIS Participants' Budgets Fail to Cover Public Holidays
Inadequate Plan Funding

1. NDIS plans rarely include realistic loading for:

• 250-275% wage costs (public holiday penalty. rates)

• Minimum shift lengths (e.g., 4-hour minimums when only 2 hours are needed)

2. Systemic NDIS Flaws

• Planners often use standard weekday rates when calculating budgets

• No automatic adjustment for 11+ public holidays/year

• "Reasonable and Necessary" test ignores holiday realities

3. Participant Unawareness

• Many don’t realize their plan won’t stretch to cover holidays until it’s too late

• Support coordinators rarely explain this during planning

Practical Solutions

1. NDIS Plan Fixes
For Participants:

• Pre-emptive Planning: Request planners add a "Public Holiday Loading" line item (e.g., 15-20% extra on core supports budget)

• Use "Capacity Building" Funds: Allocate some CB to holiday contingency training (e.g., self-management strategies)
