NDIS

The recent NDIS updates (October 2024) are frustrating, confusing, and honestly, feel like another roadblock for our community. That’s why I’ve created a detailed guide, breaking down everything you need to know – what’s still covered, what’s not and my take on the changes. We’re all in this together. Enter your email below to receive the guide and stay informed on everything NDIS.

Our voices are stronger together. If we want change, we need to demand it. Most MPs don’t even realise how these cuts are affecting our community – it’s up to us to make them listen.

Use one of the templates below to email your MP. Feel free to personalise it with your experience to make it more powerful.

If the NDIS process feels overwhelming, trust me – you’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it alone either. Like so many mums, you’re here because you want the best for your child, but with recent changes to the NDIS, securing support has never been more challenging. This isn’t the time to ‘see how it goes’ – it’s time to be really thorough, thoughtful, and prepared. That’s why I created A Guide to Getting the NDIS Support You Need for Children Under 9 – to offer clarity, guidance, and a place to start.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through what you need to consider when preparing an application for early intervention support – even if you’re starting without a diagnosis. I know there’s so much information out there that makes this process feel impossible. So, let’s cut through the overwhelm: you’ll learn what matters most in your application, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to ensure your child’s needs are front and centre. While I can’t guarantee NDIS approval, I can promise this guide will give you the best shot at creating a strong, well-prepared application.

Here’s what’s included in your NDIS Planning & Application Preparation Bundle for Parents:
