On 17 November 2026, the Senate is expected to vote on whether the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Support) Determination 2026 should remain in place or be overturned. This determination sets out how funding reductions are applied to some NDIS supports and participant plans. It is one of the mechanisms being used to implement recent NDIS funding changes.
The NDIS is using the determination to apply a 50% funding reduction to affected supports in Social, Economic and Community Participation and a 10% funding reduction for affected supports in Improved Daily Living Skills.
If the motion to disallow the determination is successful, the determination would no longer operate in its current form. If the motion is unsuccessful, it would remain in place. The Senate vote is on whether this particular determination, which gives effect to these funding reductions, should remain in force. It is not a vote to repeal the Government’s broader NDIS reform program.
If you are an NDIS participant, family member or carer, this is an opportunity to share your experience and help decision-makers understand the real-world impact these changes could have on your life. By contacting the Senators representing your state or territory, you can explain what your supports mean to you, how they help you achieve your goals, and what you would like them to consider before voting. You may also wish to contact your local Federal MP and ask them to raise your concerns with their parliamentary colleagues.
We encourage you to share your views before 3 November 2026 to allow time for them to be considered ahead of the debate. Find your Senators: https://f.mtr.cool/enaeysac53
