Help Shape the New NDIS Support Needs Assessment
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is introducing the new Support Needs Assessment. It will help decide a participant’s funding and supports.
People with rare disease disability can take part in paid testing. This helps to make sure the assessment works for complex, multi-system conditions and people with high or changing support needs.
Important: The testing is a practice session. It will not affect your current NDIS plan or funding. No plan or budget will be created or changed as a result.
Who Can Take Part
- Adult NDIS participants aged 18+, or
- Plan nominees of adult NDIS participants.
How to Take Part
- Visit NDIS Engage – Test the new way of planning.
