The new National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No.1) Bill 2024, passed on August 22, is designed to realign the NDIS with its original mission and to deliver better outcomes for individuals. These reforms will focus on streamlining processes and strengthening support.

Summary of Key Changes

Updates include balanced spending across NDIS plans, improved eligibility assessments, and clearer definitions of supports.

Additionally, from 3 October, participants can only use NDIS funds for items listed as approved supports, with a replacement list available for some substitutions. You can find the full versions of these lists here.
