NDIS Reform: Have your say on the future NDIS support coordination and connection service
Have your say on the proposed design of a new NDIS support coordination and connection service. The Australian Government has announced the introduction of a new commissioned National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Support Coordination and Connection (SCC) service from 1 July 2028. This service will replace the way NDIS participants currently receive support coordination services. The SCC service reform seeks to improve quality and service consistency, encourage innovation, and be more responsive to participant needs.
NDIS Access Changes Consultation
The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing wants your feedback on how people are assessed to see if they can access the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The proposed changes aim to make access decisions clearer, fairer and more consistent. They would focus on how a person’s disability affects their everyday life, rather than only on their diagnosis.
NDIS Reforms Consultation
The National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill was introduced to Parliament. Further reform is needed to ensure the NDIS continues to transform lives through its support for people with disability and their families. Your feedback will help inform future changes to the NDIS. You can take part in one or more consultations, depending on what is relevant to you. Closes 31 Oct 2026
