💛 IMPORTANT NDIS CHANGES FROM 1 OCTOBER 2026
There are some important changes coming to the NDIS, and at Kimberley Care Group, we want to ensure our clients, families and community stay informed.
What's changing?
From 1 October 2026, the Australian Government will begin introducing reductions to funding allocations in two NDIS support categories:
🔸 50% reduction in Social, Economic and Community Participation funding allocations.
🔸 10% reduction in Improved Daily Living Skills funding allocations.
These changes will be introduced gradually over 12 months and won't affect everyone at the same time.
📅 When will the changes happen?
• 1 October 2026: Changes begin for newly approved plans and plans being reassessed.
• 1 February 2027: Changes are applied to other existing plans as they are renewed.
What does this mean for you?
Your current NDIS plan and supports can continue as usual until your plan is changed. The impact will depend on your individual plan and support needs.
Importantly, essential supports such as assistance with personal care, household tasks, transport and disability-related health supports will not be affected by these reductions. Some supports within the two affected categories are also exempt.
💛 We're here to support you.
We understand that changes to the NDIS can bring questions and uncertainty. As a registered NDIS provider, Kimberley Care Group is committed to keeping our community informed and supporting our clients and families through these changes.
