When it comes to deciding what is reasonable and necessary, there is only one role within the NDIS that has this authority: an NDIS Planner. Yet, with so much misinformation circulating, it’s easy to see why participants and providers sometimes get confused.

Getting this right is critical. If a decision is made based on advice from someone who doesn’t hold this authority, participants and providers can be left covering the cost. That’s why it’s essential to understand the limitations of each role.

Service agreements don’t just protect participants. For providers, they are more than just paperwork, they’re an essential step. They create transparency, safeguard your business, and strengthen the relationship with participants.

By clearly setting out what services will be delivered, who will deliver them, how often, and at what cost, you reduce the risk of confusion or disputes. Agreements also demonstrate professionalism and build trust, showing participants that you are committed to fairness and accountability.

From a compliance perspective, service agreements are critical. The NDIA increasingly asks for evidence before approving payments, and having agreements in place provides that documentation. This not only helps you get paid on time but also lowers the risk of payment delays or refusals.

We finally have a new operational guideline for Short Term Accommodation, now renamed Short Term Respite (STR) following a terminology change.

The NDIA consulted with participants, families, and carers about this shift, and most agreed the new term better reflects what the support actually provides, time apart and assistance for both participants and their informal supports.

The new guideline is far more detailed, 16 pages compared to 7 previously but understanding what that detail means in practice is the real challenge. It’s clear the NDIA is tightening its focus on who can access Short Term Respite, with much greater detail around eligibility for both adults and children.

The change in terminology also reframes the intent of the support: STR is designed to give informal supports a break, not to serve as a “getaway” or chance to “try new things.”

We’re preparing a side-by-side comparison of the old and new guidelines, which will be shared soon in a comprehensive blog post breaking down the changes in plain language for participants and providers.

In the meantime, here’s a quick look at the key differences.

Carers give so much of themselves, time, energy, and love, to support the people they care for. National Carers Week reminds us how much this unpaid work contributes to our communities.

But even the most devoted carers can face burnout. It can appear as ongoing tiredness, sadness, or feeling detached from family and friends. These are signals that it’s time to pause and recharge.

Simple ways to care for yourself include:
• Taking time each week to do something you enjoy
• Sharing your feelings with someone you trust
• Saying yes when others offer help
• Making small, healthy lifestyle changes

Every child develops at their own pace.

Sometimes children need extra time to reach milestones - this is called a developmental delay, and it doesn't mean they won't progress. Early support makes a difference. If you notice signs, talk with your GP or paediatrician about services like speech or occupational therapy.

Trust your instincts - you know your child best.

The government has announced Thriving Kids, a $2 billion program set to begin in July 2026. Designed for children who aren’t eligible for the NDIS, it will be delivered through schools, community services, Medicare, and an online hub. Details are still being worked out, and we’ll keep sharing updates as they become available.
