What’s changing?

Two key changes to NDIS funding are being introduced.

Community activities and social participation
50% reduction in NDIS funding

This can include Day Programs and activities in the community.

Improved daily living supports

10% reduction in NDIS funding

This can include support to learn everyday skills.

Some essential supports are not included in these reductions.

When will the changes affect me?

The funding changes started on 1 October 2026 and are being introduced as people receive new, reassessed or renewed NDIS plans.

Your existing funding will not change until the changes are applied to your plan.

1 October 2026 Changes apply to new or reassessed NDIS plans.

1 February 2027 Changes apply to renewed NDIS plans.

What could this mean for me?

NDIS funding

You may have less funding for community activities, social outings or support to learn everyday living skills.

Livit supports

If your NDIS funding is reduced, your Livit supports may need to change.

This could mean changes to:

  • The type of support you receive.
  • How much support you receive.
  • How often you receive support.

Your supports won’t necessarily change straight away.

If you’re a Livit client and your funding changes, we’ll talk with you about what it means for your supports and explore your options.

FAQs

Some people may have less funding for Day Programs, community outings or activities that help them learn everyday skills.

This could change the type of support they receive, how much support they receive or how often they receive it.

If these changes affect your Livit supports, we’ll talk with you about your options.

If you don’t have enough NDIS funding for the support you need, you may be able to ask the NDIS to change your plan.

There are two ways this can happen:

  • A plan variation.
  • A plan reassessment.

Different rules apply to each.

If you receive support from Livit, we can help you understand your options.

A plan variation changes part of your NDIS plan. The rest of your plan stays the same.

A plan reassessment looks at your support needs again. You may receive a new NDIS plan.

Different rules apply to each.

If you receive 24-hour NDIS-funded support and your funding is reduced, you may be able to request more funding to help you continue receiving safe 24-hour support. This is called a plan variation.

To be eligible, you must meet both of these conditions:

 

  • You receive 24-hour NDIS-funded support because of your disability.
  • Before the funding reduction, your combined budget for assistance with daily life, home and living, and social, economic and community participation was $215,030 or more.

You must request a plan variation within 90 days of the funding reduction being applied to your plan.

The NDIS will decide whether to approve more funding to maintain safe 24-hour support.

You can find information about requesting a plan variation on the NDIS website.

For Livit clients, your Team Leader or manager can help you understand the process and what to do next.

How Livit can support you

Livit is prepared for these changes.

If your NDIS funding changes, we can:

  • Talk with you about your Livit supports.
  • Review whether your supports need to change.
  • Help you gather information if you need to ask the NDIS to change your plan.

We will continue to provide safe, high-quality support that puts your needs first.

Have questions?

If you have questions or are worried about the changes, talk to your Livit Team Leader or manager.
