HomeNDIS reforms and Livit

Understanding the changes to the NDIS

The Australian Government is making changes to the NDIS.

The law has changed to support these reforms. The Government will narrow the scheme through a range of measures affecting planning, access, funding, provider arrangements and regulatory requirements.

Some changes have already started but others will happen over the coming years.

For more information about all upcoming NDIS Reforms, see the resources listed.

How Livit can support you

We know you might have questions about the changes.

We can help you understand what they mean for you, explain information you receive from the NDIS and talk about your options if your supports need to change.

We’ll continue to put your needs first and provide safe, high-quality support.

Remember to…

Tell us about changes to your NDIS plan

Let us know as soon as you can about plan changes, renewals, reassessments, funding reductions, or important messages from the NDIA. This helps us understand what the change means for your supports and whether anything needs to be adjusted.

Respond to the NDIA

Keep an eye out for calls, messages, emails, or letters from the NDIA, and respond as soon as you can. If you’re not sure what something means or what you need to do, get in touch with us and we can help.

Keep invoices and claims moving

If you or someone supporting you is responsible for paying invoices or submitting claims, try to do this as soon as possible. Claims submitted more than 90 days after a support is delivered may face extra checks, delays, or may not be accepted.

Talk to us early about plan variations

If you think your plan may need to change, talk to us early. We can help you gather supporting information and work through what’s needed for a variation request within the 90-day timeframe.

Have questions?

If you have questions or concerns, speak with your Livit Team Leader or manager.

What the changes could mean for clients

The changes will depend on your NDIS plan and the supports you receive.

For questions about your NDIS funding, speak to your my NDIS contact or call 1800 800 110. Livit can help you understand what any changes mean for your supports.

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

If this happens, we’ll talk with you about what it means and what your options are.

Our commitment to providing safe, high-quality support will stay the same.

Yes. If your funding is reduced, you may need to change how often you attend Day Programs or community activities.

Livit will talk with you about any changes to your supports.

Not necessarily.

The impact will depend on your plan and circumstances. If your funding is reduced, Livit will talk with you about how this affects your supports and whether anything needs to change.

Please tell us if your NDIS plan changes. This includes if you get a new plan, your plan is reassessed or your funding is reduced.

You can also share any letters or information you receive from the NDIS with your Livit Team Leader or Client Services Manager.

Telling us as soon as possible helps us make sure your supports fit within your funding.

It’s also important to respond to any calls, letters or messages from the NDIS as soon as possible.

NDIS plans, changes and additional funding

If your NDIS funding isn’t enough to cover the supports you need, please talk to your Livit Team Leader or manager.

You may be able to ask the NDIS to change your plan through a plan variation or plan reassessment. Visit the NDIS website to find out more.

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

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

Different rules apply to each.

Please tell Livit if your plan changes so we can review your supports with you.

If you receive 24-hour NDIS-funded support and your funding is reduced, you may be able to ask the NDIS for more funding through a plan variation.

You can find more information about who may be eligible and how to apply on the Australian Government website.
