Connecting with the people around us helps during uncertainty

There’s been a lot of uncertainty in the NDIS space lately. With reports of funding cuts and participants feeling like they’re slipping through the gaps, it’s completely understandable that people are feeling worried or unsupported.

But even in challenging times, there are pathways to get help, and no one needs to navigate the system alone.

Here are 3 practical ways to feel more supported when things feel unclear:

1. Connect with a trusted provider who advocates for you:
A good provider doesn’t just deliver services, they help you understand your plan, identify options, and speak up for your needs.

2. Lean on your support network:
Family, friends, other participants and support coordinators, and people to have around you who understand the system can help make some things feel lighter.

3. Get clarity through regular check-ins:
A quick conversation with your provider or coordinator can help you stay ahead of changes, understand your rights, and feel confident about your next steps.

Uncertainty doesn’t have to mean navigating things alone. Strong support, clear communication and good relationships can go a long way.
