Changes to NDIS ā€“ New Management of Funding Rules

In December 2024, the government introduced new Management of Funding Rules under the NDIS Act, allowing the NDIA to restrict self-management to participants if there is a risk of misuse.

Recently, the Department of Social Services released a plain English summary of an amendment clarifying how these decisions are made.
The amendment outlines factors the NDIA must consider when assessing risks and approving Plan Management. However, these changes are still under negotiation with states and territories.
