NDIS: an update and what to expect in 2026

Join us for this online MyTime session about the latest and upcoming changes to the NDIS.

In this presentation, Kim Henderson will provide a discussion on the changes occurring and still to come in the NDIS space. Kim will share the official information provided by the NDIA and will also discuss what she is experiencing day-to- day with participants, planning and other processes following these changes.

Participants will gain knowledge about:

• changes to the NDIS processes, programs and legislation
• where are we with new government initiatives such as Thriving Kids and Support Needs Assessments
• what is currently happening with reassessments and impairment notices
• frequently changing guidelines such as therapy and ‘respite’
• how changes might impact carers, children and families.

This session is for parents, carers and families of NDIS participants of all ages.
