The National Disability Insurance Scheme Rules will specify when classes of participants are due to get new framework plans and the period within which the participant will receive notice about this [National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (Cth) s 32B].

New framework plans will still include the participant's statement of goals and aspirations [s 32D(1)], as well as a statement of participant supports [s 32D(2)].

The NDIA will determine the participant's reasonable and necessary budget according to sections 32E to 32K of the NDIS Act.

Section 32K provides that the reasonable and necessary budget of new framework plans will be informed by a support needs assessment under section 32L which records the participant's whole-of-person disability support needs.

The plan will also set out whether the participant meets the disability requirements, the early intervention requirements or both [s 32D(2)(c)] and provide for the management of funding and other aspects of the plan [s 32D(2)(f)-(g)].

From 1 January 2025, new participants will receive an impairment notice setting out the categories of impairments or developmental delay that meet the requirements [s 32BA]. Funding will be provided for support needs from the assessment that arise from impairments in relation to which the participant meets the disability or early intervention requirements.

The plan must also specify the maximum period the plan will have effect for and the circumstances in which the NDIA will reassess the plan [s 32D(2)(d)].
