How the upcoming changes strengthen choice, control, and person-centred planning
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has released updated guidance for 2025 outlining a stronger emphasis on Capacity Building Supports for participants of all ages. These updates highlight the importance of person-centred planning, neuroaffirming care, and integrated support between coordinators, therapists, families and community networks. For individuals, this means a clearer pathway to accessing vital therapeutic services, social work support, and behavioural strategies that strengthen independence. For professionals, the changes reinforce the role of collaborative practice and high-quality reporting. At Our Future Focus, our team is already integrating these updated guidelines into Support Coordination, Social Work, and Specialist Support Coordination services—ensuring every participant receives support that reflects their lived experience, strengths, and long-term goals.
