We know there is a lot of uncertainty about the proposed NDIS changes, and many people have told us it can be difficult to keep track of the latest developments. While the reforms are still evolving, we wanted to provide a summary of the key topics raised during the session.
What is happening with the reforms?
The reforms have been delayed following feedback from people with disability, providers and governments. This additional time is intended to allow concerns to be reviewed and proposed changes to be refined before any final decisions are made.

What is Melba’s position?
Melba supports reforms that help ensure long term sustainability of the NDIS. At the same time, we believe reforms must continue to protect the rights of people with disability to maintain choice and control and preserve access to independent review processes.
Has community advocacy made a difference?
Strong advocacy from people with disability, families and service providers has helped ensure concerns are being heard. While no changes have been confirmed yet, we have seen the legislation delayed and consultation time extended, creating further opportunities for the disability community to influence the outcome.
What changes are expected next?
Some important milestones currently being discussed include:
As these dates and proposals may change, we encourage everyone to continue monitoring official NDIS information.
What is Melba doing?
Melba is continuing to actively monitor developments, advocate for people we support and work closely with participants who may be impacted by funding changes. We are also establishing an NDIS Reforms Advisory Group, please register your interest below and we will be in contact.
