After months of discussions and debate, some significant changes to the NDIS have been announced and confirmed by the Commonwealth Government. These changes, including the introduction of lists of accepted supports and services, will affect all current and future NDIS participants.
During this free online workshop, you will hear from Kim Henderson, an NDIS expert from Maroondah City Council, who will help you to understand what these changes are, how they will affect NDIS plans, and what changes you might need to consider for you or your family.
What to expect
Feeling unsure about what the recent changes to the NDIS may mean for you or someone you care for? In this 1.5 hour session, Kim will unpack the NDIS amendments as they are currently understood. Following her presentation, there will be a Q&A session where Kim will respond to questions about the changes.
We welcome registrants to submit any questions in advance to [email protected] and we will endeavour to answer them in the Q&A session.
