The NDIA is gradually bringing in their new computer system and better processes all over Australia.
Providers can start getting ready to switch to the new methods whenever they want, and most have probably already commenced.
To help everyone prepare, they have shared some data about how many NDIS plans they expect to approve in their new system over the next few months:
Providers will switch to the new methods, including the new My NDIS provider portal, when the participants they support have NDIS plans in the new system. The NDIA has stated that they will let participants know which system their plan is in so that they can share this info with their providers.
Claims should still be sent through the current myplace provider portal, no matter which system a participant’s plan is in.
Starting from October 30, 2023, the NDIA has been working with participants to make their next plan in the new system. This applies to participants whose plan is expiring and they need a new one or want a change to their plan.
All expiring NDIS plans will eventually move to the new system. Participants with plans that work well for them might be offered to keep their current plan for now, and the NDIA will make their next plan in the new system at a later date.
There are other ways providers will know when participants have plans in the new system, like checking the NDIS website’s FAQ section.
