We are now in the new normal, where some significant changes are locked in because the NDIS Amendment Bill passed in August 2026 - but some changes haven’t been confirmed yet.
This comes at a time when we are all hurting and exhausted, but if we stay silent in these new consultations, the Rules that have yet to be decided will go unchallenged. So we must keep speaking up.
Take action now:
- Make a submission about these proposed Rules before the deadlines
- Connect with your community to share your experiences and mutual aid
- If you can get together in person, keep making noise
- Make harm visible through the Harm Tracker & PWDA Form (links on Linktree)
- Take this time to recover and regroup for the fight ahead
We have updated our Linktree (in our bio) with info about the changes and what happens now, as well as steps you can take to protect yourself. We have also linked Easy Read versions.
We are also organising a mutual aid project on our community Discord which you are welcome to join (on our Linktree).
Our disabled volunteer team nationally at Protect Our NDIS Alliance are taking whatever time we can to recover and regroup and to support each other as we work out what will happen to each of our own NDIS plans, and some of us continue with our appeals in the ART. So we need to share the load of our fight across the country, and we are calling on you! If you have energy to make a submission about these proposed Rules, please do!
It has been great to see actions around the country, and we need to keep this up. Change won’t happen just through making a submission - but it puts it on record and helps us all.
Find the links for the consultation papers and the NDIS Reforms Hub via our Linktree. We have also linked Easy Read versions.
We need all our voices on record as we continue to fight against changes to our NDIS.

Answering a question from Facebook asking “Are these submissions different to the ones we made in the Senate Inquiry about the NDIS Amendment Bill?” Yes, each of these consultations are different to the original Bill Senate Inquiry. New proposals have been put together by the NDIA called “Consultation Papers” on each of the three topics. The Bill made some headline changes. But it also said that the mechanics of how some things will change will need to be done through Rules that are not yet written. These Consultation Papers set out how the NDIA proposes to change the areas of: Support Coordination, Access to NDIS and New Framework Planning. So step 1 is to read the relevant Consultation Paper to find out what NDIS proposes. Step 2 is to make a submission saying what we think will work, not work, and our concerns about the proposals in that Paper. You can find the Consultation Papers, including an Easy Read version, on our Linktree, as well as the links to make your submission.
