Major changes are coming to our NDIS, including mandatory registration for some supports, and new NDIS legislation is expected to be introduced this month.
For NDIS participants and families who self-manage and self-direct our supports, these changes raise serious and practical questions about choice and control, how supports can be arranged, and what we need to do to maintain our individualised support arrangements.
This special online community forum brings together our community with senior representatives from both the NDIA and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
It is a unique opportunity to hear directly from both agencies in the same workshop, ask questions, share concerns, and better understand how the changes may affect people who self-manage and self-direct our supports.
Speakers
Ross Andrews
NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission
Alex Rosenthal
National Disability Insurance Agency

- Changes to mandatory registration and what they mean in practice
- What the NDIA and NDIS Commission each do in these changes
- How the changes may affect self-managed and self-directed supports
- Questions about SIL supports, individualised living arrangements, and support for people with high and complex needs
- Recent Budget announcements and what they may mean for people with disability and our families

Why this workshop matters
For many people with disability and our families, self-management and self-direction are essential to safe, stable, and personalised support.
These changes are moving quickly and there is still a lot of uncertainty in the community. This forum is a chance to get information directly from the NDIA and the NDIS Commission, have questions answered, share concerns, and make sure the experiences of people with disability and our families are heard.
