The NDIA recently announced some important changes as part of their legislative update, which came into effect on Thursday, October 3, 2024. These changes may affect how you can use your NDIS supports, so we want to make sure you’re fully informed.

Some changes are happening right away, while others will take longer to roll out.

Meet Phil
Our Executive Manager, NDIS

“I have over 25 years of experience in the welfare and disability sectors and have been at Coast & Country Primary Care since 2017. I have a deep understanding of the needs of people with a disability and their carers, as well as the NDIS. I am passionate about supporting people with a disability to live independently, take control of their lives and to participate freely in the wider community. I am genuinely excited about helping people live their dreams!”
