The Self Manager Hub is hosting a free online workshop with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to help you understand the new Short Term Respite Guidelines – what’s changed, what it means for participants, and how this funding can be used.
Our guest speaker is Alex Rosenthal, Branch Manager, Engagement & Inclusion at the NDIA.
This workshop will help NDIS participants, families, and supporters understand:
✅ What the new guidelines say and how they’re different from Short Term Accommodation
✅ Who can access Short Term Respite and how the funding can be used
✅ What supports and costs are included (and what’s not)
✅ How these changes may affect you and your family
There will be time for Q&A with Alex and George.
It is also an opportunity to provide feedback to the NDIA on the new guidelines.
Who should come: People with disability and families who want to understand how these changes impact them.
Please note: This workshop is for peer support, education, and information sharing. It is not legal or professional advice. We encourage you to get that advice and can provide some tips on how to get help.
