Episode 7 - NDIA changes - WTF do they mean for me?

from Behave: The podcast to unlearn behaviour · host Behave The Podcast

The NDIA changes announced last month have left a lot of people overwhelmed, confused and for some, scared. Judging by the response to our Instagram poll, this is the topic people most wanted unpacked properly. So that’s exactly what we did.In this episode, we revisit what the NDIS was actually designed to be in the first place (spoiler: an insurance scheme), what the proposed changes really mean in practical terms, and what families, providers and participants can start doing now to prepare.We also dive into some of the uncomfortable conversations happening behind the scenes in the sector right now — including sustainability, evidence, funding pressures and the growing gap between what people need and what systems are realistically resourced to provide.There may be a few controversial thoughts in this one… but avoiding the conversation isn’t helping anyone.This episode isn’t about panic. It’s about understanding the landscape, cutting through the noise, and helping people get on the front foot.Learn more about the hosts!!Eleanor Brink - MEd., BCBA, Advanced/Specialist BSPErika Gleeson - OAM, Speaker, Advanced/Specialist BSP
