🟣 Recent update, as to how your NDIS Funding will be distributed over the life of your plan 🟣
We’re introducing changes gradually from this week to help participants more easily manage their budgets.
We had feedback from participants, who have told us that receiving all their funding at the start of their plan can make budgeting hard – increasing the risk of overspending or running out of funds.
So, what is changing? Well, from 19 May 2025, different funding periods will be slowly introduced to all new or reassessed plans.
Funding periods will now usually be set at three-months – rather than 12-months – to give participants flexibility and to help participants manage their budgets.
If a participant’s situation changes and they need more or different supports, they can request a change to their plan. They won't be left without the supports needed but it’s important for participants to ask for help early, before funds run out.
This change doesn’t change the total amount of funding in a participant’s plan, only when the funding becomes available.
The NDIA will have a discussion with participants about their circumstances. We will do this as part of getting their new or reassessed plan. If they don't need a new plan, there are no changes right now.
We’ll also be providing support and information during this transition.
