NDIA session: • Deliver an overview of the NDIS Bill amendments and provide information on some of the key changes for all providers. • Provide an opportunity for Q&A.

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.
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.
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
The NDIA is hosting a series of webinars through September to November to provide detailed information about changes introduced through the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026. These webinars are designed for participants, families, carers and kin who want to better understand how the changes may affect their interaction with the NDIS. The sessions will focus on practical information and explain what the changes mean for participants both now and into the future.
