Important Changes to NDIS Funding Periods Start This Week

From Monday 19 May 2025, the way NDIS funding is released in new and reassessed plans is changing — and it’s important you’re prepared.

Under the new system, participants will receive their funding in smaller, time-based chunks (called funding periods), rather than the full amount upfront.
