🌈 NSW Disability Inclusion Plan 2026–2029

Easy Read | What it means for you

The NSW Government has a new Disability Inclusion Plan.

This plan explains how NSW Government services should:
• Treat people with disability fairly
• Make services easier to access
• Provide information in Easy Read
• Help people feel safe, included, and heard

The plan says that people with disability have the right to take part in their community.

Sometimes, even with a plan like this, people:
• Feel confused by government systems
• Do not feel listened to
• Cannot get the support they need
• Are unsure what their rights are

Informed choice protects your plan.

Not all NDIS providers are the same.

Some providers are registered.
Some providers are independent.

Both can offer support — but they work differently.

Registered providers:
• Must meet strict quality and safety standards
• Are regularly audited
• Provide formal reporting and evidence
• Have clear complaints and safeguards

Independent providers:
• Are not audited by the NDIS Commission
• May have fewer formal safeguards
• Are not required to provide the same level of reporting

There is no “one size fits all” choice.

Understanding the difference helps protect your supports and your funding — especially at plan review.

📌 Focused on You
We’ve been reviewing our supports and want to make sure every participant receives the time, advocacy, and connection they deserve.

✨ That’s why Heather and Jess are now stepping in to personally support and lead our Support Coordination participants.
✨ To ensure we can continue offering high-quality support, we’ve temporarily paused new referrals.

🌱 This is a positive step and growth towards better communication, stronger outcomes, and more personalised support for the wonderful people we’re already working with.

✨ Big changes are coming for families with kids on the NDIS ✨

The government has announced a new program called “Thriving Kids”.

👧🧒 What it means:
• From 2027, children with mild to moderate autism or developmental delays may no longer get support through the NDIS.
• Instead, they’ll be supported through a new system called Thriving Kids.

💡 The idea is that help will come through places you already know and use – like schools, GPs, and child health services – instead of the NDIS.

💰 The government has set aside $2 billion for this change, with states expected to chip in too.

📊 Why?
• Right now, almost half of all people on the NDIS are kids, and most new plans are for children with autism or developmental delay.
• The government says the NDIS can’t keep growing this fast, so they want a new system that gives families support earlier and in the community.

📌 Important:
• Children with more significant needs will still be able to get the NDIS.
• Kids already in the NDIS won’t just be “kicked out” overnight – there’ll be reassessments and transition support.

⸻

👉 Parents, this means if your child has milder support needs, you may be linked to Thriving Kids instead of NDIS in the future.

❤️ The goal (according to the government) is to get families help sooner, in everyday places, without long waits for an NDIS plan.

Little Blue Wren Services is dedicated to empowering meaningful change through its steadfast support of meritorious causes, as exemplified by events such as Jeans for Jeans Day.

During the month of August, Little Blue Wren Services is spearheading a fundraising event for the Children's Medical Research Institute. In tribute to loved ones who have bravely fought against genetic disorders and in solidarity with our cherished Little Blue Wren family members who are overcoming these challenges, we are committed to participating in fundraising to further build an understanding of genetic disorders, encompassing diagnosis, therapy, and potential cures.

I’m raising money for Jeans for Genes to help fund cures for the 1 in 20 kids born with a genetic disease. Please support me by making a donation today – thank you! 💙
