Welcome to part 2 of our two-part news special! Yes, we have slacked off in getting into the latest happenings and changes in the NDIS world, so here we are with a two-part special. This conversation was recorded on the 26th of August 2024, and sooo many extra news items have come up since our previous episode so we are back for part 2.

We get into the government's 'response' to the Disability Royal Commission, the legislative changes that recently passed through parliament, new worker registration categories, and also what is and what is not an NDIS support... strap in!
