📢 Important NDIS Update: What It Means for You
From mid-2026, the NDIS is changing the way plans are reviewed. Instead of families needing to pay for expensive reports from doctors and therapists, the NDIA will use a face-to-face interview (up to 3 hours) to understand each participant’s support needs.
👉 What’s changing
Reports from OTs, psychologists or GPs won’t be required in the same way.
An NDIA assessor will ask questions across 12 areas of life (e.g. mobility, self-care, communication, health).
Longer-term plans will be created, and funding will be released in blocks.
👉 What this means for families
Less time and money spent chasing reports.
More consistency in the planning process.
But some families are concerned that their unique needs may not be fully captured if only NDIA assessments are used.
👉 How Zenzability can help
While we may not be writing the same detailed reports, we’ll continue to document progress and provide summaries you can use to prepare for planning meetings.
Our team will focus even more on delivering therapy that makes a real difference in daily life.
We’ll keep you updated on the changes and provide resources to help you feel prepared and confident.
💜 At Zenzability, our commitment is the same: to support your child and your family every step of the way. If you have any questions about how these changes may affect your plan or services, please reach out, we’re here to help.
