In this episode of OT Unplugged, we dive headfirst into the sweeping changes triggered by Section 33 of the NDIS Act, which came into effect on May 19. These changes have introduced locked funding periods within participant plans, meaning OTs and providers can no longer rely on full plan budgets being accessible up front. Instead, budgets are now broken into quarterly allocations, and unspent funds can only roll forward—not backward. The result? Increased admin, reduced therapy flexibility, and serious disruption to how assessments and supports are delivered.
