In response to advocacy from a wide range of bodies, including NDS and our members, the NDIA has announced the changes that were to come into effect yesterday (28 February) will now be implemented on 1 April. NDS is pleased the NDIA has listened to our concerns and those of our members and has extended the date for implementation.

The announcement means that support coordination line items claimable under a participant's Core budget will continue until 31 March 2021. Beyond this date, support coordination will be available to participants who have support coordination in their Capacity Building budget.
