The New NDIS Supports list is officially live. This short, sharp webinar will unpack the changes and what they mean for reasonable and necessary support.

Why take this course?

What can people spend their NDIS funds on? It’s a question as old as the NDIS itself. The reasonable and necessary debates are now set to change as the government has released the transitional lists that define what is and what isn’t an NDIS Support. 

This can lead to more consistent decision making, and more clarity for participants on what they can spend their funding on – AKA what’s in versus what’s out. It might also place restrictions on everyday services and items that have been used as NDIS supports in the past.

Sounds pretty black and white – but implementing these changes will be complicated. With the new legislation officially going live on October 3rd, in true DSC fashion, it’s time to unpack the new definition of “NDIS supports”, and what these changes mean for you. 

What you’ll gain

In 90 minutes, we’ll dive into:

  • The new definition of NDIS Supports – and how these definitions impact which supports are considered reasonable and necessary 

  • What the NDIS Supports lists replaces in current planning and funding decisions

  • NDIS Supports that are ‘in’ (still the responsibility of the NDIS)

  • What’s changing with NDIS vs mainstream funding?

  • What’s a substitution pathway for people who want to request funding for a support that’s on the ‘out’ list?

  • Consequences of spending NDIS funds on supports that are no longer ‘in’, such as reduced plan periods and changes to funds management type

  • What are the exceptions? (as per the new amendments tabled 12th August)

  • Are any of these decisions reviewable? And how?

  • How to keep up to date with the latest changes, as they happen
