Instead of relying on a disability diagnosis, the NDIS now focuses on the impairment/s, a person experiences. People with the same disability diagnosis can have very different impairments, which means their support needs can also differ
On 3 October the Government announced changes to the NDIS. A new list has been released of what supports can and cannot be funded by the NDIS. Items and services that the NDIS will fund are those that are directly linked to a person’s disability.
