On this episode, Sam and Hannah discuss some major changes that are happening TODAY in the NDIS world.

The NDIA have communicated poorly about these changes, so we can't refer you to any news releases or information directly from the source, but as is usually the case, there is a wonderful article from DIA which we recommend you take a look at to learn more about what we discuss in this episode. You can check that out here:
