📢 Important NDIS Update: Changes to Plan Reassessments from 27 August 2026

New NDIS laws are now in effect, and there are important changes to how plan reassessments can be requested.

✅ Only the participant, their nominee, or child representative can now request a plan reassessment.
✅ Requests must be submitted using the official NDIA Plan Reassessment Request Form.
✅ Participants need to explain what has changed and why a reassessment is required.
✅ Supporting evidence must be included and may need to come from a GP or allied health professional.
✅ The NDIA has up to 90 days to decide whether to reassess, vary, or not reassess a plan.
Need a small, urgent, or short-term change? A plan variation may be more appropriate and can still be requested.

As Support Coordinators, we can continue to help participants gather evidence, complete forms, and navigate the process, but reassessment requests must now be formally made by the participant or their authorised representative.

🗣️✨ Communication Creates Possibility! ✨🗣️

It's Speech Pathology Week 2026, and we're celebrating the amazing ways communication opens doors every single day!

Whether it's helping someone express their thoughts, connect with loved ones, participate in learning, or make important choices, speech pathologists are there to help turn possibilities into opportunities. 💙

This year's theme, "Communication Creates Possibility," highlights the powerful role speech pathology plays in creating more inclusive communities where everyone can connect, participate, and thrive. 🌟

Let's give a big shout-out to the speech pathologists who make a lasting difference in the lives of so many Australians every day! 👏🎉

☀️🌳 Get Outside, Have Fun, and Pace Yourself! 🌳☀️
Fresh air, sunshine, and outdoor adventures can do wonders for our wellbeing! Whether it's a walk in the park, gardening, visiting the beach, or enjoying a picnic with friends, getting outdoors is a great way to stay active and connected.

💙 Remember, there's no rush! The key is to pace yourself—take breaks when needed, stay hydrated, listen to your body, and enjoy activities at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Visit the local Botanic Gardens in West Mackay to discover a lush, vibrant world where nature, beauty and relaxation come together.
Every step, smile, and moment spent outdoors is something to celebrate. 🌈✨

🌟 A Fantastic Day of Learning at Life Skills! 🌟

Engedi and Dietcare recently delivered our first Swallowing Wellness Course at Life Skills, with strong attendance from support staff, participants' cooks, and SIL Team Leaders.
Participants enjoyed practical demonstrations of IDDSI-modified breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, while Bernadette from Flavour Creations shared valuable insights into modified fluids, moulded purées, and tasty texture-modified treats. Participants learned about fork and spoon tests and safe meal preparation for both individual and bulk catering.
👏 Thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to bringing you more courses in the future. Watch this space as we continue promoting safe food and fluid textures for all!

🚨 NDIS Scam Alert 🚨
Fraudulent invoices targeting NDIS participants are becoming more common.
Before paying or submitting an invoice:
✅ Check that services were actually delivered
✅ Confirm the provider is legitimate
✅ Review any changes to banking details
✅ Verify unexpected invoices directly with the provider
A proactive Plan Manager can help identify suspicious invoices and provide an extra layer of protection for your NDIS funding.
When in doubt, check first and pay later.
