NDIS changes are coming from 1 October, and we know that for participants and families, changes to funding can bring a lot of questions.
The NDIA has advised that some budgets within Social, Economic and Community Participation and Improved Daily Living Skills will reduce over the coming 12 months as plans are created, reassessed or renewed. The impact will look different for every participant, because NDIS plans continue to be based on individual circumstances, goals and support needs.
Importantly, a number of essential supports are not included in these reductions, including personal care, assistance with eating and drinking, medication support, cleaning, high intensity supports and intensive and complex behaviour supports.
At SpiritAbility, we know that behind every plan is a person, a family, a routine and a life that needs to keep moving forward.
If you are unsure what the upcoming changes may mean for your supports, speak with your support coordinator, planner or trusted provider and ask questions early.
And if you would like to talk through the supports SpiritAbility can provide across Orange, Bathurst and the Central West, our team is always happy to have a conversation. 🧡🩷
Supporting choice. Supporting independence. Supporting people to live life their way.
