    Disclaimer: This series explains the NDIS changes as we currently understand them, using official government, parliamentary sources and lived experience perspectives. Many of the changes to the NDIS are still being determined, so some things will change.

    The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is one of Australia’s most important and influential social reforms and right now it is changing.

    In August 2026, the Australian Parliament passed the NDIS Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Act 2026, marking the most significant changes to the NDIS in years. While some reforms have already begun, many of the changes will be introduced gradually over the coming years.

    To help make sense of what’s changing, SCIA Advocacy has developed a five-part video series explaining the reforms. The series focuses on what we know so far, what is still being developed and what participants can do to prepare.

    NDIS Changes Series

    Video 1: New Framework Planning

    Learn why New Framework Plans are being introduced, when they’re expected to roll out, and what the new planning journey may look like for participants.

    Video 2: Notice of Impairments

    This video explains what a Notice of Impairments is, why it is being introduced, and how it may influence future planning and assessment processes.

    Video 3: Support Needs Assessments

    Find out what Support Needs Assessments are, what participants can expect from the process, and why they are expected to play an important role in future NDIS planning.

    Video 4: Seeking Changes Under New Framework Plans

    Understand what we currently know about participant review rights under the new system and what options may be available if a participant believes their needs have not been accurately captured.

    Video 5: What Can You Do To Prepare?

    The final video focuses on practical advice. It covers steps participants can take now to prepare for future changes, understand their rights and feel more confident when engaging with the NDIS.

    Stay informed. Stay involved.

    While there is still much we don’t know about how these changes will be implemented, one thing remains clear: the experiences and voices of people with disability matter.

    SCIA Advocacy works to ensure those voices are heard by government and decision-makers, while keeping our community informed about issues that affect them.

    Visit the SCIA Advocacy page to learn more about how to get involved whether that be joining a local network, taking personal advocacy actions or meeting our committee members.

    You can also contact our advocacy team to discuss your personal situation or visit our events pages to join regular online NDIS workshops.
