The Parliament has passed new NDIS laws. These are the changes participants and providers can expect.

29/08/2026

On Thursday, 27th August 2026 the NDIS announced changes to how participants can request a change of circumstance review

In order to put through a change of circumstance review request this now has to be completed by the participant themselves , their representative, or nominee.

Your NDIS support coordinator can still assist with gathering all the evidence required and assist with helping with the completion of the request however this cannot be submitted by them.

Support Coordination or any other parties are unable to put this request through on behalf of a participant for more information on these changes, please click on the following link or make contact with Dui Bana Support Coordination and we will be happy to assist in helping you understand these new changes.

New NDIS laws are now in effect.

Did you know people living with MND can receive priority access to support through both the NDIS and aged care?

MND can progress rapidly, so getting the right care and support quickly matters.

If you’re under 65: the NDIS has an MND Priority Pathway designed to provide faster access to eligibility decisions, planning and support for people living with MND.

If you’re 65 or older: people with MND are now given urgent priority for Support at Home, including people already assessed and waiting for an approved package. People with MND also receive priority access to funding for assistive technology and home modifications.

Navigating these systems can still be complicated, and you don’t have to work it out alone.

☎️ For information and support, contact the MND Info Line on 1800 777 175.

Our team can help connect you with information so you can better understand the support available to you.

Please share this post. Someone in the MND community may not know these priority pathways are available.💙

From today, 27 August 2026, several legislated changes to the NDIS come into effect.
These changes affect unscheduled plan reassessments, record keeping, NDIA compliance and information-gathering powers, NDIS pricing powers and the use of automated administrative actions.

Key changes include:
• Unscheduled plan reassessments: Only participants, plan nominees or child representatives can request an unscheduled reassessment. Requests can still be made in circumstances including a significant and ongoing change in a participant’s functional capacity or support needs. The NDIA has up to 90 days to decide whether to conduct a reassessment.
• Record keeping: New record-keeping requirements commence for participants, nominees and providers. Current NDIA guidance sets different retention periods depending on who is keeping the records, with further requirements to be specified in the NDIS Rules.
• Compliance and enforcement: The NDIA now has stronger information-gathering, compliance and enforcement powers, including civil penalty consequences in some circumstances.
• NDIS pricing: The Minister now has the power to make NDIS pricing determinations. This does not mean NDIS prices automatically change today. The NDIA has advised there are no immediate changes to current pricing.
• Automated administrative actions: New provisions allow computer systems to undertake specified administrative actions. Safeguards and oversight requirements apply, and NDIA guidance states that complex or discretionary decisions requiring judgement will continue to be made by people.

AFDO will continue to monitor how these changes are implemented and what they mean in practice for people with disability.

Changes to the NDIS must be transparent, accessible and implemented in ways that uphold the rights, choice and control of people with disability. People with disability must also have clear information about decisions that affect their plans, supports and lives.
