The Government is consulting on new NDIS planning rules, including changes to:
• Support Needs Assessments
• How budgets are set
• How decisions are made and explained
Every Australian Counts is preparing a submission, and we want it grounded in real lived experience.
If you are an NDIS participant, family member, carer, support worker or advocate, your perspective matters. This short survey is your chance to share what these proposed changes could mean in practice.
You don’t need to read all the consultation material to take part. You can simply tell us:
• What makes planning fair and safe
• What needs to be transparent
• What helps protect choice, control and flexibility
⏰ The consultation closes 6 March 2026.
We’ll use survey responses (de-identified unless you say otherwise) to strengthen our submission and advocate for safeguards that work in real life.
👉 Take the survey: https://forms.office.com/r/EsbqZ3gcXM
A note of care: the survey discusses changes that may feel stressful. Support is available via Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

The government wants to make sure that National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports are safe, suitable and cost-effective for people with disability.

The NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee will be reviewing a range of supports to provide advice to government. This consultation focuses on the following supports that will be reviewed by the committee:
🔹 early intensive behavioural interventions
🔹 positive behaviour support for older children and adults
🔹 robot-assisted gait training
🔹 social skills training as a disability support for children and young people.

Whether you use these supports, use other supports for similar goals or research them— we want to hear from you.

Your input will help inform advice to government to improve outcomes for NDIS participants.

🗓️ Consultation closes 11:59 pm AEDT, 29 March 2026.

Our colleagues at the Justice and Equity Centre has released a new resource, NDIS Insights 2025–26, designed to help people understand what’s changing across the NDIS and how those changes are playing out in practice.

It brings together clear information on:
- new NDIS supports lists
- the introduction of funding periods in plans
- the Thriving Kids announcement
- changes to provider regulation and oversight

The resource also looks at what’s happening in reviews and court decisions, following a sharp rise in challenges to NDIS access and funding decisions over the past year.
For people with disability, families, advocates and organisations trying to keep up with ongoing reform, this kind of independent, practical analysis can be useful.

NDIS Insights 2025–26 is available in PDF and accessible Word formats.

You can access it via the Justice and Equity Centre here:

Periods shouldn’t stop anyone from moving their body, playing sport or feeling like they belong.

The research tells us that 78% of people with disability or a chronic condition have struggled to afford period products – now, Share the Dignity wants to hear from you, to work together and change that.

Share the Dignity () has launched the ‘Periods and Disability’ survey with Victoria University to better understand how periods impact participation in sport and physical activity.

If you’re aged 15 years old or above and menstruate, your lived experience living with a disability matters whether you’re active, want to be, or feel shut out altogether.

Take the survey today: https://buff.ly/pd53Bmf
Survey closes 27 March 2026.

Clear information can help you feel more confident when navigating the NDIS.

The NDIS Commission has two refreshed welcome packs that explain participant rights, provider responsibilities, and quality and safety in the NDIS.

The Provider Pack outlines the standards and requirements providers must follow to meet quality and safety requirements. The Participant Pack explains your rights as an NDIS participant, and what you can expect from your supports or services. It’s available in multiple formats, including Easy Read and Braille.

📥Both packs are available via the link in the comments.
