Many families and individuals may be very worried seeing the latest announcements regarding the NDIS. Please know we will continue to support any clients and their families the best we can regardless of any changes to their funding, whether they have NDIS access, etc.

Today, Minister Mark Butler, the Minister for Health, Disability and the NDIS, spoke about the future of the NDIS.

When announcements like this are made, we know families want clear, reliable information. At ACD we start by sharing a summary and then work alongside disability organisations across Australia to help shape what happens next.

There is a lot in this announcement. Most of us at ACD are parents of children on the NDIS, and we understand how hard it can be to make sense of what these kinds of changes might mean for your own child and family.

NDIS eligibility 👈
🔹Eligibility for the NDIS is expected to change from January 2028 for both new and existing participants.
🔹It is proposed access will no longer be based on diagnosis but will be decided by a standardised functional capacity assessment.
🔹NDIS eligibility will depend on a significant reduction in a person’s functional capacity that impacts their day-to-day living.
🔹All existing participants will have their eligibility to remain on the NDIS reassessed, as their plan comes up for renewal.

Planning 👈
🔹The new framework planning, using a support needs assessment, will now begin from 1 April 2027. This will determine the size of a participant’s plan.
🔹From July 2026, participants are expected to only be able to request a plan reassessment if there are exceptional changes in circumstances.

What’s in a plan👈
🔹Social and Community Participation and Capacity Building Daily Activities funding in plans is expected to be reduced. How much these budgets are reduced will vary. This change is proposed to be rolled out from October 2026.

Who can provide services👈
🔹Plan management, support coordination and Supported Independent Living will be limited to a smaller group of approved providers.
🔹Personal care and daily living supports will need to be delivered by registered providers. No start date has been confirmed.

Time blindness in adult ADHD is the inability to sense how much time has passed and estimate the time needed to get something done. It isn’t an official diagnosis, but it can significantly impact your daily life. Time blindness changes how you prioritize tasks, allocate time, and manage your schedule.

An example of time blindness for an ADHDer is underestimating the time needed to get ready for an appointment, causing you to turn up late. For a non-ADHDer, it’s easier to estimate the amount of time needed to prep and be on time.

Time blindness is a legitimate issue for people with ADHD. It’s not the intentional act of disregarding time or disrespecting someone else’s time. (ADDA ❤️)
