Understanding the Latest NDIS Funding Changes: October 2024 Update
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) introduced significant policy reforms on 3rd October 2024 to clarify what services and supports are eligible for funding. These updates are designed to empower participants and plan nominees, making it easier to navigate funding rules and manage NDIS plans effectively. Here’s everything you need to know about these changes and how they impact plan management.
Key Changes to NDIS Funding Rules
The latest guidelines provide clearer boundaries on the types of supports and services that the NDIS will fund. This is essential information for participants and their families or support teams who want to ensure compliance and make the most of available resources. To review the full details, visit the NDIS website’s “What does NDIS fund?” page, where three core documents outline what these reforms mean for different types of supports and services.
How Do These Changes Affect Your NDIS Plan Management?
At Awesome Plan Management, we are committed to following the updated NDIS guidelines to ensure your funds are used effectively. We are authorised to process payments only for supports and services clearly outlined in the new guidelines. For any service or support not specified, we’ll need to seek planner approval before making any payments. This approach ensures full compliance with the NDIS framework and safeguards your plan funds.
For additional information on these regulations, we encourage you to check out the NDIS Legislation.
