Subject: RE: For review/approval - Updated Section 33 Policy following 13 May Policy Committee Meeting [SEC=OFFICIAL]

Hi Prue

Thanks for the notes re: s.33 Policy following yesterday’s Policy Committee meeting. Based on your notes in the email below I have made some tweaks to the Policy to:

  • Clarify that a degenerative condition is the exceptional circumstance. Suggest keeping the language of ‘exceptional circumstance’ — but being explicit on what it means - because the legislation provides for delegate discretion in how funding periods are applied on a case-by-case basis.
  • The Policy also includes an explicit line re: participant preference needing to be appropriately weighted. We are working with comms on messaging and comms materials re: this point.

Updated/tweaked policy is linked for your review/approval. Edits are on pages 11 - 16 of the policy and are tracked in and highlighted for easy reference:

redacted: s22(1)(a)(ii)-irrelevant material Section 33 Policy - Funding periods for old framework - updated following Policy Committee.docx

Let me know if you’d like further edits/changes — appreciate the exceptional circumstances updates may need to be stronger!

And happy to discuss further too.

Thanks SB.

Policy full endorsed, notes below. The point highlighted in yellow is the only area that requires a slight change in the policy.

  1. Funding periods policy:

    1. Use of exceptional circumstances opens us up to a high degree of uncertainty; consideration of identifying a specific circumstance (degenerative) rather than opening up ‘exceptional circumstance’
    2. Participant preference needs to be appropriately weighted and this needs to be communicated.
    3. Service Delivery focus - funding period roll over of funds is a key piece to communicate effectively - Lisa to come back with way of approaching communications in knowledge articles
    4. Discussion about ART reviews and likelihood of increased pipeline of cases coming through ART
    5. My Provider link required in PACE to validate
    6. Concern about rollover of unused funds and follow up with Matt/Rebecca for legal advice.

Lesson 3 of 12

The NDIS Act and the Introduction of Additional s33 Provisions

Section 33 of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 Commonwealth (Cth) refers to matters that must be included in a participant’s plan, such as a statement of goals and aspirations and a statement of participant supports.

Legislative Changes

On 9 October 2024, changes to s33 became effective and the National Disability Insurance Agency (the Agency) needed to start including three additional provisions in participant plans:

  1. Total Funding Amount: The total budget amount for the NDIS supports funded in a participant’s plan.
  2. Funding Component Amount: Funding for a specific NDIS support, or a group of NDIS supports, in a participant’s plan.

Page 89 of 181

FOI 24/25 - 2122 - Disclosure Log

  1. Funding Period: The time that a part of a participants funding becomes available. A participant can spend up to the amount of funding that is available in that time. Funding Periods can be for either the Total Funding Amount of a plan or for each Funding Component Amount in a plan.

Old and New Framework Plans

Two new terms were also introduced to describe plans, Old Framework and New Framework plans. Old Framework plans are either Old Framework plans with additional s33 provisions or Old Framework plans without additional s33 provisions.

Type of Plan Definition of Plan
Old Framework plan without additional s33 provisions Plans approved:
  • in SAP CRM before 9 October 2024,
  • in PACE before 9 October 2024, and
  • without Total Funding Amounts, Funding Component Amounts and Funding Periods. | | Old Framework plan with additional s33 provisions | All new plans approved:
  • on or after 9 October 2024, and
  • before the delivery of new framework instruments, and
  • with Total Funding Amounts, Funding Component Amounts and Funding Periods. |

Page 90 of 181

FOI 24/25 - 2122 - Disclosure Log

| New Framework plan | New plans approved:

  • after the delivery of New Framework instruments, and
  • commencing late 2025 with a support needs assessment and new budget model.

Consistent with legislative requirements the Agency will gradually transition to New Framework plans over a 5-year period. |

Implementing Legislative Changes

Changes to the way we develop plans are being implemented in three stages:

  1. Previous State: The time before s33 legislative changes were implemented on 9 October 2024.
  2. Interim Implementation Stage: We are currently in this stage. It began in October 2024 when additional s33 provisions were introduced and will continue until the Future State. During this stage the Agency is enhancing PACE to enable improved implementation of additional s33 provisions.
  3. Future State: A time in the future when new plans will be developed with support needs assessments and a new budget model.

Lesson 4 of 12

Plan Duration

Plan Duration:

The length of time between the date when the plan is approved and the date the plan is to be reassessed by the Agency.

Page 93 of 181

FOI 24/25 - 2122 - Disclosure Log

Image displaying consecutive years from 1973 to 1977

The Agency is reintroducing longer Plan Durations. When Funding Periods are added to PACE, Plan Delegates will be able to approve plans with durations longer than 12 months again.

  • A Plan Duration determination is separate from a Funding Period determination.
  • Plan Delegates determine Plan Durations.
  • Determining the duration of a plan is one of the first steps a Plan Delegate takes when preparing a statement of participant supports under s33.
  • Plan Duration should be based on when the NDIA is required to reassess a plan and not used as a safeguard to support compliance with s46 or utilisation of funds.

Plan Durations Matrix

Plan Delegates should use the Plan Durations Matrix when making plan duration determinations.

Follow the link here to access the Plan Duration matrix. The matrix will provide the most current guidance for decision making.

Plan Durations for participant cohorts vary based on their pathway:

Page 94 of 181

FOI 24/25 - 2122 - Disclosure Log

  • participants younger than 9 are recommended plans of 2-years duration, with exceptions (see matrix below)
  • participants aged 9 and over are recommended plans of 5-years duration, with exceptions (see matrix below)

Quiz 1

There are two questions in this quiz. Answers are not recorded or reported anywhere.

Q1. There is a plan for a 35-year-old participant who met Disability access criteria. What is the recommended Plan Duration for this participant if there are no exceptions?

  • One year

Total Funding Amount

Total Funding Amount:

The total budget amount for the NDIS supports funded in a participants entire plan.

Image displaying addition of numbers on a blackboard

Page 97 of 181

FOI 24/25 - 2122 - Disclosure Log

For example, if a two-year plan contains only two support categories:

  • Capacity Building Improved Daily Living Skills $5,000 and
  • Capacity Building Finding and Keeping a Job $2,000.

The Total Funding Amount for the plan is $7,000.

The Total Funding Amount for a plan is determined by Plan Delegates and calculated using the Plan Conversation Support Tool (PCST). This ensures it is legislatively compliant and aligned with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Old Framework Plans) Determination 2024.

Total Funding Amount versus Total Funded Amount

Within PACE, the terms Total Funding Amount and Total Funded Amount have different meanings and the information is stored in different locations.

Total Funding Amount can be found in the Person Account on the My Budget tab.

Refer to the PACE screenshot below for more information.

Total Funded Amount refers to the total funds available for a specific support category over the plan duration, and the Total Funded Amount field is used when adding or changing a Funded Support. This information is displayed in Update Funded Support screen, in the Total Funded Amount field.

Funding Components and Funding Component Amounts

Funding Component:

A support or a ‘group’ of supports. Flexible Core supports with the same fund management type will be one Funding Component, as will each Stated support.

Funding Component Amount:

The funding for a specific NDIS support, or a group of NDIS supports, in a participant’s plan.

Application

  • From May 2025, Funding Periods will be applied to Funding Components (not support categories).
  • In the future, Funding Periods will be applied at the Funding Component level and the Total Funding Amount level.

Funding Component Groups

PACE will automatically group some support categories into a single Funding Component. There are two criteria that must be met for this to happen. The support categories must:

  • be flexible, and
  • have the same plan management type.

The same Funding Period is then applied to the Funding Component group.

Single Support Funding Components

Stated supports will not be grouped together, which means each of the following three support types will be a separate Funding Component:

  • Capacity Building
  • Capital
  • Recurring.

This means PACE automatically groups the total funded supports for flexible Core support categories with the same Fund Management type into one Funding Component Amount.

Example

The following table shows two examples where support categories which are both flexible and have the same fund management type will be automatically grouped in the same Funding Component by PACE.

Support Type Support Category Budget Type Fund Management Funding Component Outcome in PACE
Core Assistance with Daily Life Flexible Plan-managed Will be in the same Funding Component as Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation
Core Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation Flexible Plan-managed Will be in the same Funding Component as Assistance with Daily Life
Core Consumables Flexible Self-managed Will be grouped with Transport in the same Funding Component
Core Transport Flexible Self-managed Will be grouped with Consumables in the same

Quiz 2

There are four questions in this quiz. Answers are not recorded or reported anywhere.

There is a plan with a five-year duration. The summary in the completed PCST for this plan shows $186,000 for Flexible support and $170,000 for Stated support in the Budget column.

More detailed information about this plan is provided in the table below.

Support Category Support Type Budget Type Fund Management Funded Amount (for the five-year plan)
Assistance with Daily Living Core Flexible Self-managed $60,000
Consumables Core Flexible Self-managed $6,000
Assistance with Social, Economic (support at work) and Community Participation Core Flexible Agency-managed $120,000
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Capital Stated Agency-managed $120,000
