The Australian Government is currently consulting on
major changes to how NDIS plans are made. These proposed changes are called the
New NDIS Framework Planning. The Government intends to begin introducing these changes from mid-2026.
Why We’re Asking for Your InputThe Australian Autism Alliance invites you to complete this survey so your voice, insights and other advice can directly inform our advocacy to the NDIA and the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.
Your feedback will help us clearly communicate:
- What is working well
- What concerns the autism community
- What needs to change, and
- What must be protected and strengthened.
Your input is essential in shaping policies and decisions that affect Autistic people, families, and supporters across Australia.
