NDIS Changes 2026 Explained: Support Workers, Funding Cuts & The Future of Care

What’s really happening with the NDIS right now… and what does it actually mean for support workers, providers, and participants?

In this episode, I join Jackie for a real, unfiltered conversation about the latest NDIS changes, funding cuts, and the growing uncertainty across the sector.

We break down:
• What the recent NDIS announcements actually mean (without the fear-mongering)
• The truth about funding cuts and social & community supports
• Why support workers are leaving the sector — and what’s replacing them
• Independent vs provider models — what’s really changing
• The future of registration, audits, and compliance
• How the NDIS has shifted from community-first to system-heavy
• What “good care” should actually look like moving forward

We also talk about the real heart of the sector — the people. The wins, the challenges, and why community connection still matters more than ever.

If you’re a support worker, provider, participant, or just trying to make sense of where the NDIS is heading… this is the conversation you need to hear.
