We told you plan managers stopped $270.5 million in a single quarter. 💰
Here's what that looks like next to the NDIA's own numbers. 👇
⚖️ NDIA Crack Down on Fraud, Q3 2025–26: ~$35.7 million stopped pre-payment
🛑 DIA survey members: $270.5 million stopped pre-lodgement

That's roughly 7.6 times more, from one-third of the plan-managed sector.

Different scope, complementary work.

✅ Quality intermediaries protect more.

A study approved by the University of St Andrews School of Psychology and Neuroscience Ethics Committee is looking for participants.

This study explores how masking/camouflaging, authenticity, loneliness, and wellbeing relate to one another across different neurotypes: how experiences such as camouflaging neurodivergent traits, managing social expectations, and feeling able to be yourself may relate to loneliness and mental wellbeing.

The questions are intended to help explore how social experiences may differ across autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, otherwise neurodivergent, and non-neurodivergent adults.

Participation is open worldwide to anyone aged 18 years or older who is fluent in English.
Anyone is welcome to participate, whether or not you identify as neurodivergent, and a formal diagnosis is not required.

People who are questioning whether they may be neurodivergent are also welcome to take part. The anonymous online questionnaire takes approximately 20–30 minutes to complete.

When the NDIS releases new information.....

16/06/2026

📘New guidance for specialist behaviour support providers

The NDIS Commission has released a practice guide on behaviour support assessment, including functional behaviour assessments (FBA).

The guide helps specialist behaviour support providers and NDIS practitioners to:
- Understand expectations under the NDIS Act and Rules
- Align assessment practice with quality standards
- Strengthen assessments to support better participant outcomes

High-quality assessments are the foundation of effective behaviour support strategies and help support the reduction and elimination of restrictive practices.
