Keeping up with NDIS changes isn't just about compliance—it's about providing better outcomes for participants.

Regular updates can help providers stay informed, strengthen best practices, and confidently navigate changes across the sector.

If you're a registered or unregistered NDIS provider, this month's newsletter is well worth a read. It covers:

✅ A reminder about the NDIS Code of Conduct for unregistered providers
✅ Guidance on monitoring and reviewing Behaviour Support Plans
✅ Updates to the Commission's new complaints form

Staying informed today helps you deliver quality supports tomorrow.

🤝A Support Coordinator does more than connect services.

Your role is about empowering participants to understand their NDIS plan, make informed decisions, build independence, and connect with the right supports to achieve their goals.

Every conversation, referral, and piece of guidance can make a meaningful difference in a participant's journey.

Whether you're new to Support Coordination or have years of experience, understanding the purpose of your role helps you deliver participant-centred support with confidence.

📱If you have a compatible mobile device, you may receive a test emergency alert on Monday 27 July.

The national test is part of preparations for AusAlert, Australia's new national emergency warning system launching later this year.

During the test, your device may vibrate, display a message and play a loud siren-like sound for 10 seconds.

For people with disability, AusAlert may work with the accessibility features and assistive technologies you already use. This includes text-to-speech, hearing aids, cochlear implants and screen readers.

July 1, 2026 sees the new pricing updates introduced.

This will impact some supports and the way some providers are required to change how they invoice.

Will my NDIS budget change?

The NDIA has said plans will begin being indexed from 13 July 2026 to reflect the updated pricing arrangements. 'Indexed' means the NDIA increases the funding in your plan to keep up with any price increases for your supports.

This means there may be a short period where your provider has updated their prices, but your plan funding has not yet been adjusted.

It's also important to remember that indexation won't affect every plan in the same way. It depends on the supports in your NDIS Plan and the price limits that apply to those supports.

We’ve released the annual pricing review (APR). It provides guidance on what we consider appropriate NDIS prices for 2026-27.
