Public consultation on new NDIS framework planning
On Friday 23 January, the Federal Government announced an opportunity for all citizens to contribute to the development of “how the new (NDIS) framework planning will work in practice”. Here’s the explainer copied from their Consultations Page. LINK HERE
“This consultation is about the new framework planning rules.
New framework plans are designed to make NDIS planning clearer and more transparent. New framework plans will start from mid-2026 for some participants who are over the age of 16. It will be a phased introduction so many participants will not experience any change for some time. Participants will be told before anything changes for them, and support will be provided by the NDIA.
We are still developing the rules explaining how new framework planning will work in practice. We want to hear from NDIS participants and the disability community to get the rules right.”
The Australian Autism Alliance will be making a formal submission on behalf of Autistic individuals, our autism community and allies. Invitations to share your views with us (for inclusion into the Alliance’s submission) will be circulated w/c: 27/1/26 via our website, social media and members’ community.
Register (Stay Informed Stay Connected) to receive an invitation to stay informed, stay connected and contribute your say in this important matter affecting all NDIS participants.
