On Tuesday 1 October 2024, the Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) released the NDIS support lists that define what supports the NDIS can pay for.
This blog post focuses on the NDIS support lists and what we currently know about them.
People with Disability Australia has endorsed a joint statement from WWDA and NEDA who are deeply concerned about the events we are witnessing in Gaza and other conflict-affected areas across the world.
The federal government wants to change the rules about what you can use NDIS funds for. They have created draft rules, which list what supports you can and cannot use NDIS money for. We want you to have your say on these draft rules.
The government is proposing changes to the NDIS through the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024.
We want to hear your views on the Bill and proposed changes.
Your feedback will help shape People with Disability Australia’s (PWDA) response to the Bill and submission to the Committee’s inquiry.

People with Disability Australia (PWDA), the national cross-disability peak body and representative organisation, has reissued its call for governments to prioritise and fund action plans that support the transition away from segregated housing, employment, and education; eliminate restrictive practices; and embed and protect disability rights in domestic law. The call follows today’s release of the Public consultation on the Disability Royal Commission Summary report by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
