NDIS Sector Update – 12/03/2025

The government has introduced new rules under the NDIS Act aimed at improving plan management and changes, providing greater clarity and consistency. These updates include provisions for managing risks when funds may not be used as planned and allowing quicker plan variations when support needs change.

Expressions of interest are now open for the NDIS Reform Advisory Committee, which will provide advice to the government on upcoming reforms. Applications close on 24 March 2025.

The Housing Hub has released new resources for participants living in shared supported settings, along with webinars in March and April to guide users through these resources.

In response to Cyclone Alfred’s impact in Queensland and northern NSW, the NDIS is offering emergency support, including assistance with urgent repairs and technology replacements. The National Contact Centre is open this weekend to support affected participants. We encourage you to visit the NDIS website for the latest information, including temporary office closures.
