NDIS and Your Rights
About the webinar
In September 2025, CYDA hosted the NDIS and Your Rights webinar to help our community understand the growing number of NDIS eligibility reassessments and what these changes mean for children, young people and families.
The session explored the impact of reassessments, particularly on First Nations and Autistic children, and shared legal, advocacy and community perspectives.
The webinar was chaired by CYDA’s Board Chair, Ebe Ganon (she/they) and featured speakers:
- Kerryann Stanley (she/her) – First Peoples Disability Network
- Jenny Karavolos (she/her) – Australian Autism Alliance
- Louis Bowden (he/him) – Villamanta Disability Legal Service
- Liam Thatcher (he/him) – Disability Advocacy Network Australia
You can learn more about our NDIS Eligibility Reassessments campaign and our new Thriving Kids Survey Fact Sheet explaining our communities response to the government’s new early-support program for children with developmental delay and autism.
