Will the NDIS fund it?
On October 3rd, 2024, the NDIS introduced updated guidelines to clarify which supports will continue to be funded and which will no longer be eligible. These updates are designed to help participants understand what can be claimed under the scheme moving forward.
Supports that are NDIS supports – This section includes examples of frequently requested items that often cause confusion. For each item, the NDIS explains how it determines whether the support is reasonable and necessary and provides guidance on whether it is typically funded.
Supports that are not NDIS supports – This section outlines examples of what the NDIS may not fund.

New changes to the NDIS Plan Funding Periods- effective 19th May
NDIS Plan Funding Periods – The NDIS has started rolling out shorter funding periods to help participants and providers better manage their budgets and reduce the risk of overspending. Funding periods don’t change the total amount of funding in a participant’s plan, only when the funding becomes available.
So, what does this mean?
- Funding periods will typically be set at three months
- This change applies to new plans and reassessed plans only
- Existing plans will remain unchanged until reassessment.
Your NDIS plan will show:
- The total funding you have
- How much you’ve spent
- When the next funding period starts and when the next amount becomes available
