DIA are offering a free Town Hall session covering the Support Coordination and Connection Consultation. Register via the Eventbrite link in this post!
The Government has announced a new commissioned Support Coordination and Connection (SCC) service, starting 1 July 2028 - the biggest structural changes to hit our sector since the NDIS began.
The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing and the NDIA are now seeking public feedback. Submissions are open now and close 2 October 2026 - the submission window is very short.
DIA invites all Support Coordination providers and practitioners to attend a Virtual Town Hall on the proposed SCC service. This session is free and open to everyone - support coordination providers, practitioners, sole traders, psychosocial recovery coaches, and anyone invested in the future of Support Coordination. You do not need to be a DIA member.
This session will cover:
➡️ What is actually proposed, and what's already been decided: The commissioned lead organisation model, SCC and SCC+, regional service areas, and the difference between what this consultation can still shape and what Government has settled.
➡️ How to approach the 19 questions strategically: You don't have to answer all of them. Which ones carry the most weight for providers, and how to choose the handful where your evidence is strongest.
➡️ What data makes a submission credible: The caseload, participant outcomes, cost and thin-market evidence the Department can actually use, and how to present it if you don't have a policy writing background.
When: Tuesday 15th September
Time: 1:00pm – 2:30pm AEST
Online via Zoom
