Understanding the October 3rd NDIS Changes: A Guide from Starlight Care

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is undergoing significant changes starting October 3rd, 2024. As a trusted provider of disability support services, Starlight Care is committed to helping participants navigate these changes seamlessly.

Key Changes to Understand:

1. New Definition of NDIS Supports The NDIS will introduce a clearer definition of what constitutes an NDIS support. This change will affect all participants and determine what can be funded through the scheme.
2. Total Budget Amounts New plans reviewed after October 3rd will display a total budget amount instead of line-by-line supports. This change aims to provide greater clarity on available funding.
3. 12-Month Funding Periods Initially, all new plans created after October 3rd will have a 12-month duration. Future plans may extend beyond this timeframe.
