Big changes are happening to the NDIS, affecting how you manage your funding and what supports you can access. In this important episode of Reasonable and Necessary, Dr George Taleporos unpacks funding periods and support lists with two of Australia’s leading disability rights lawyers, Dr Darren O’Donovan from La Trobe University and Sian Thomas from Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion.
When can you ask for longer funding periods? What changes are needed to the NDIS support lists to give us back choice and control over our supports?
We explore how the changes are being implemented on the ground, and how you can challenge decisions that don’t meet your disability support needs.
From rent (for live-in supporters) to air conditioners to stovetops, this episode is packed with examples that show how rigid rules are creating barriers and what you can do about it.
Whether you’re an NDIS participant, family member, advocate, or NDIS provider, this episode will give you the insights you need to understand the changes and push for better outcomes from the NDIS.
