DESCRIPTION:The NDIA Community Engagement team will be visiting the Horsham, Edenhope and Kaniva libraries, presenting information and guidance surrounding the changes to the NDIS.\nNo bookings required for any session. Simply drop in!\n \nNDIS Reforms and Legislative Changes\nThis session provides an overview of changes introduced through the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Act and is designed to help participants, families, carers, kin, and community members understand how these changes may affect their interaction with the NDIS.\nAttendees will learn about the key legislative changes, what they mean for participants now and into the future, and where to access information, guidance, and support.\nThe session will explore topics including changes to plan reassessments, support determinations, how decisions may be made under the updated legislation, and what participants need to know when using their plan. An estimated timeline of proposed changes will also be provided.\nPresentations are developed using publicly available NDIA resources, including information from the NDIS website and operational guidelines. The session provides a summary of the changes currently being introduced. Some changes to the Scheme will take time to implement, and further details about how these changes will operate may still be under development.\nThis presentation is suitable for NDIS participants, carers, families, and kin, as well as advocacy organisations, peer support networks, carers’ groups, and mainstream services that support people with disability, including health, education, housing, and community services.\nThese information sessions are facilitated and delivered by the NDIA Community Engagement team.\n\nWhat is the NDIS?\nThis session provides an introduction to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and is designed to help participants, families, carers, kin, and community members build their understanding of how the Scheme works.\nAttendees will learn about the purpose of the NDIS, who may be eligible, and the different pathways available to access disability supports.\nThe session will explore key NDIS concepts, including how the Scheme supports people with disability to pursue their goals and increase their independence, the roles and responsibilities of the NDIS and other mainstream services, and what to expect throughout the participant journey.\nParticipants will also learn where to access information, guidance, and support, and gain a better understanding of the supports and services available through the NDIS.\nThis presentation is suitable for people who are new to the NDIS, those considering accessing the Scheme, and anyone who would like a better understanding of how the NDIS works.\nThese information sessions are facilitated and delivered by the NDIA Community Engagement team.\nNDIS Pop Up Information Table\nHave a question about the NDIS? Visit our NDIS Information Pop Up Table for a friendly conversation with members of the NDIA Community Engagement team.\nThis informal drop in opportunity is designed for community members, people with disability, families, carers, and kin who would like general information about the NDIS and its pathways. Staff will be available to answer questions, provide information about accessing and using the NDIS, explain the roles of the NDIA, Local Area Coordinators (LACs), and Early Childhood partners, and direct people to relevant information.\nTopics may include NDIS access, understanding participant pathways, finding information and resources, legislative changes, plan implementation, and where to seek further assistance.\nPlease note that NDIA staff at the pop up table can provide general information only.\nThis drop in information opportunity is facilitated by the NDIA Community Engagement team and aims to help people better understand the NDIS and connect with trusted sources of information and support.\n \n
