Changes to NDIS planning, access and the way your NDIS plan is funded are all about to change with the introduction of NDIS compulsory assessments.
These tick-a-box assessments will determine who gets support from the NDIS – and how much support they get.
These assessments are the biggest change to the NDIS since the scheme began. And they are being rushed in despite the serious concerns of people with disability, their families and our community.
