Monte Christo (MC) is a project by ECC for a transition to Community-oriented market gardening and regenerative farming on permaculture principles, beginning in 2022. The immediate project aims to develop opportunities for NDIS participants and community members to engage in inclusive gardening activities to grow vegetables for their own use at a low cost. Included therapeutic benefits of moderate exercise and healthy outdoors exposure in a social setting are proposed. A further aim is to develop larger permaculture farming with the long-term goal of providing quality, environmentally sustainable, healthy nutrition at reduced cost to people on low incomes. Disability Support Pension and NDIS recipients will be a priority.

We want your feedback on NDIS pricing.

We're reviewing NDIS prices for 2027-28 and want to hear from the people who use, deliver and rely on NDIS supports everyday including participants, providers, families and carers.

We want to know:

đź’¬ Are NDIS prices and pricing arrangements supporting access to quality supports and services?

đź’¬ Are there areas where NDIS pricing isn't keeping up with what's needed?

Real-life experiences and practical examples are some of the most valuable feedback you can provide.

Have your say through a survey, written submission or video (including Auslan) at https://ow.ly/23re50ZOXHy

🗓️ Feedback closes on 1 November 2026.

The Government has made big changes to the NDIS laws.

These changes include who can use the NDIS, how plans are made, and how funding for some supports will work.

Inclusion Australia has made an Easy Read explainer to help people understand:

• Changes to the NDIS
• What changes are happening now
• What changes are coming next
• What still needs to be decided
• How to get more information.

A big thank you to People with Disability Australia for including us in their information session today to talk through the NDIS changes.

We are glad to share our Easy Read resource to help more people understand what’s changing and what will happen next.

You can read the Easy Read explainer here: https://www.inclusionaustralia.org.au/about-the-ndis-changes-and-when-they-will-happen/

Our Disability Royal Commission had 222 recommendations.

Behind every one of them are people with disability who told the Disability Royal Commission about violence, abuse, neglect, exclusion and systems that failed them.
Implementation cannot become an exercise in marking recommendations as “in progress”.

People with disability need to know:
🔹 What has actually changed?
🔹 What is overdue?
🔹 What is still being considered?
🔹 Who is responsible?
🔹 When will unfinished reforms be delivered?

AFDO wants transparent, recommendation-by-recommendation reporting, what has been achieved and clear timelines for the reforms that remain outstanding. We expect the Federal Government to provide leadership on this, inclusive on reporting back on State/Territory Governments progress.

The measure of progress is not how much work government has started.
It is whether people with disability are safer, have stronger rights and experience real change in their everyday lives.

The sleepless nights, the paperwork, the juggle of services and supports - we see you. And it's time the rest of Australia did too. We’ve partnered with CliniKids, part of The Kids Research Institute Australia, and the The University of Western Australia for the 2026 National Autism Parent and Caregiver Survey.

If you're an Australian parent or primary caregiver (18+) of an autistic child, young person or adult, please take the time to have your say — around 30 minutes, completely anonymous.

The survey closes at 11:59pm on Monday 5th October. Your answers will be used to inform policy, supports and service design, with findings published in January 2027.
