Short term accommodation is now called short term respite.

We spoke with participants, families and carers about this change. Most told us that short term respite better reflects the value of informal supports and the importance of sustaining these relationships.

We know some people have concerns about the word ‘respite’, but many carers and families use and understand it well. After considering all the feedback, we chose this name because it’s clear and widely recognised.

Short term respite gives you time away from your usual care arrangements, while your primary informal supports take a short break.

We’ve updated Our Guideline to make it easier for you to understand and use. It explains:

✅ who can use short term respite

✅ what it includes

✅ how it works

✅ where it can be used.

📢 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.

The government wants to make sure the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports are safe, suitable and cost-effective for people with disability.
The NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee will review a range of supports to provide advice to government. The committee is looking at the first 6 supports.
Whether you use these supports or other supports for similar goals, research them or simply care about the NDIS — we want to hear from you.
Your input will help inform advice to government to improve outcomes for NDIS participants.

Ever heard of CAS and wondered what it really involves?

Community Access Supports (CAS) are designed to help participants stay connected whether that’s joining local events, visiting family, or learning a new skill.

Some of our participants use CAS in different ways, from getting to appointments to taking part in community programs.

At HPS, CAS is about more than transport it’s about inclusion and connection.

💬 Want to know how CAS could fit into your plan? DM us and let’s chat.

Not sure what to look for when choosing an NDIS provider or worker?
One thing to check is whether the NDIS Commission has taken any compliance action against them.
Our Digital Compliance Register shows you if action has been taken, and lets you search by individual or business name, ABN, and/or state.
It’s free, public, and easy to use. Access it here: https://bit.ly/4hHidOS

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

Not all disabilities can be seen. Invisible disabilities—like chronic pain, mental health conditions, or neurological differences—can limit or challenge a person’s daily life even if they aren’t visible from the outside.

That’s why true inclusion at work means going beyond what you can see:

✅ Listening when employees share their needs
✅ Providing accommodations without judgment
✅ Building cultures of trust and respect

Everyone deserves a workplace where they can thrive.
