Have your say on the future of the NDIS
The NDIS is experiencing some of the biggest changes since it began, with many of the proposed changes being designed right now.
A lot of that design happens with input from the people who actually use the Scheme and the people who work in it.
This means there are many opportunities for you to provide your feedback or test how things might work.
In this article and on our NDIS updates page, we've brought together a list of NDIS consultations that are currently open, which we'll keep updated as new opportunities arise.
Many of these opportunities have accessible options of submitting feedback, including video, email or phone call.
Open opportunities
Commissioning Supported Independent Living (SIL)
The government is asking whether a commissioning approach would improve the quality and sustainability of SIL supports. It covers participant outcomes, whether services are safe and reliable, and whether providers can keep delivering.
Who's it for: Anyone who has a view on this topic, including participants, families, carers, providers, support workers and community groups.
Closes: 13 September 2026
NDIS access changes consultation
The government is asking for feedback on how people are assessed for access to the NDIS. Your feedback will be used by the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to develop advice for the Australian Government.
Who's it for: people with disability, their families, carers and kin; disability representative organisations and advocates; disability service providers; health professionals and disability support workers.
Closes: 2 October 2026
Support coordination and connection consultation
The government is seeking your feedback on a new Support Coordination and Connection (SCC) service. The new service is due to start from 1 July 2028 and will replace the way NDIS participants currently receive support coordination services.
Who's it for: people with disability, their families, carers and kin; disability representative organisations and advocates; disability service providers; health professionals and disability support workers.
Closes: 2 October 2026
New framework planning and NDIS supports consultation
The Department of Health, Ageing and Disability is seeking your feedback on 4 new NDIS rules for new framework planning. These rules cover: how support needs will be assessed; how reasonable and necessary budgets will be developed; how a participant can use their plan; how a new framework plan can be changed.
Who's it for: people with disability, their families, carers and kin; disability representative organisations and advocates; disability service providers; health professionals and disability support workers.
Closes: 14 October 2026
Help test the new way of planning
There is an opportunity to take part in paid online testing of the new support needs assessment before it rolls out in April 2027. Sessions run for approximately two hours, with a payment of $200 each. Your feedback will help shape the process and won't affect your plan, funding or eligibility.
Who's it for: NDIS participants aged 18+ and plan nominees. All eligibility requirements are listed on the opportunity page.
Closes: 31 December 2026
Your feedback is critical to ensure the NDIS is designed for the people who use it.
