Major NDIS Change: New Funding Periods Start May 19, 2025

The NDIS has just implemented one of its biggest changes since it began - how you access your plan funding.

This only affects NEW plans and plan reviews - if you have a current plan, nothing changes until your next review.

For Short Term Accommodation users, this means you'll need to plan your bookings differently and book early for busy periods.
