Monash SDS families,

Below I have attached an engagement opportunity from the NDIA looking to gain feedback about the new changes to the NDIS. Please follow the link to fill out the survey. I have also attached information session that will be occurring over the coming weeks that may be of use to families.

NDIS Engagement opportunity

Tell us what you want to know about NDIS reforms. We want to understand what information people find most useful about changes to the NDIS, including reforms and new NDIS laws.

We are asking:

which NDIS reforms people would like more information about
what reform-related information is most useful
which parts of the reforms or new laws need further explanation.

Your feedback will help us improve future reform information and resources.

We will close the survey on Thursday, 31 December 2026 at 5pm AEST.
