Workshop – What could the NDIS announcements and budget mean for self-management and self-direction?

Guest presenter Sam Paior from The Growing Space

Facilitator: Dr George Taleporos

Delivery: Online via Zoom (live captioning available)

The Minister for the NDIS has made significant NDIS announcements about the future of the Scheme, alongside important budget decisions that could affect people who self-manage and self-direct our NDIS supports.

Join Sam Paior and Dr George Taleporos for this practical Self Manager Hub workshop unpacking what the NDIS announcements and budget could mean for self-management and self-direction.

You can read our initial breakdown of the announcement here.

This workshop will focus on what we know so far, what still needs clarification, what the timeline for change may look like, and the Parliamentary processes that need to occur before any major changes come in.

We will discuss:

• The key NDIS announcements made by the Minister for the NDIS

• What the budget may signal about the future of the Scheme

• What these changes could mean for self-management and self-direction

• The likely timeline for proposed changes

• The Parliamentary processes that need to happen before changes would come into effect

• Possible impacts on choice, control and flexibility

• What self-managers may need to prepare for

• The questions we still need government, the NDIA, and the NDIS Commission to answer

• How our community can raise concerns and advocate for practical solutions

This will be a plain English, participant-focused workshop with time for questions and discussion.

Who should attend?

This workshop is for NDIS participants, families, supporters, direct employers, plan nominees, advocates, and anyone interested in the future of self-management and self-direction.
