As I wrote promptly back to the member, following up the very issue he raised in this place yesterday, I was advised that National Disability Insurance Agency is in frequent contact with Harper's parents, and it is incorrect to say that Harper's current NDIS funding has been reduced, including overnight supports. I'm advised that Harper's current plan is in place for six months and includes a higher rate of funding than his previous 12-month plan. It is important to consider comparable annualised plans, values and durations. NDIS plans are frequently implemented for a shorter period, such as six months, for participants with complex needs like Harper. It is also important to recognise that the NDIS works with mainstream service system, including the health system, to support families with additional support needs for health conditions.
