From Monday, 19 May 2025, the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme will implement a change in how funding is released for all new and reassessed plans.

Participants will now receive funds distributed in scheduled instalments known as “funding periods,” rather than accessing all the funds at the beginning of their plan.

Below we have included a list of links to help Support Coordinators understand the change including the Operational Guideline, DSS Section 33 factsheets and NDIS FAQs.

We also recommend bookmarking the NDIS events page (as the current events detailing this change are sold out) so you can register once more sessions are announced.

You can access the Operational Guideline here - https://ourguidelines.ndis.gov.au/your-plan-menu/your-plan

You can access DSS Section 33 factsheet here - https://www.dss.gov.au/national-disability-insurance-scheme-review-and-reforms/changes-ndis-legislation

Have your say, make it count.

The Australian Government is making some changes to improve the NDIS.

Many NDIS participants said they need more clarity on what is and is not an NDIS support.

Have your say on what NDIS funding should – and should not – be spent on. Consultations are now open.
