The Australian Government is implementing legislative changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme aimed at improving quality, safeguarding, and access to services. The reforms focus on enhancing support for participants, their families, and carers, thereby promoting independence and social participation for people with disabilities.

The NDIS Amendment Act, passed on August 22, 2024 and set to commence on October 3, 2024, introduces new definitions and rule-making powers to clarify eligibility for supports and improve the transparency and accountability of the scheme. These reforms are designed to ensure that participants receive the necessary support aligned with human rights standards, including adherence to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

NDIS has introduced new rules effective October 3, 2024, following the passage of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No.1) Bill on August 22, 2024. The changes clarify what funding can be used for and are designed to return the scheme to its original intent, thereby better protecting participants.
