Webinar: Making Sense of the NDIS Changes
About the webinar
In September 2026, CYDA hosted the Making Sense of the NDIS Changes webinar to help our community understand changes to the NDIS following the passing of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026.
The session covered what’s changing in the NDIS, including what parents are responsible for, changes to NDIS plan reviews, reductions in social and community participation supports and how you can appeal NDIS decisions.
The webinar was chaired by CYDA’s CEO, Skye Kakoschke-Moore (she/her) and Young Advocate, Oriela Williams (they/them) and featured speakers:
- Belinda Kochanowska (she/her), Founder and Principal of Intrepidus Law
- Darryl Steff (he/him), CEO – Down Syndrome Australia
- Jenny Karavolos (she/her), Co-Chair and Executive Officer – Australian Autism Alliance
- Sheetal Balakrishnan (she/her), Senior Solicitor – Justice and Equity Centre
You can learn more about what’s changing with the NDIS and when in our NDIS Reform Explainer guide.
