budget savings over the next four years:
1. Moderating participants' plan inflation
The Budget showed us that the Scheme was going to grow an extra $14.4 billion, mostly because
of plans being topped up before they are due to rollover.
This is called intraplan inflation and it does not happen in the vast majority of NDIS participants’
plans.
But around 15 per cent of participants or their plan managers spend their NDIS funding much
earlier than planned and in the past this was topped up so the participant was not left without
support.
The highest growth in the NDIS comes from plan inflation. The amendments in the bill, will help
lower plan inflation and therefore growth in expenditure.
In the legislation currently before parliament we are stopping any more automatic top ups.
Plan inflation is already reducing, with the recently released NDIS quarterly report showing a
continuing downward trend from 11% to 7.5% (excluding indexation) – this is the lowest rate
since September 2021.
2. Improve NDIS plan budget setting.
The second way we are changing things to keep the Scheme safe is by changing the way we
create plans.
By creating plans better to begin with, it will help stop artificial plan inflation during the course of
the participant's plan.
This is also before the parliament but once the legislation has passed we will do extensive co-
design with participants, families and the sector to make sure we get it right.

Hi Antonia,
It was a breakdown of how the $14bn saving will be achieved. Confirming that growth has been
restrained to under $2bn over 5 years.
There were two measures that accounted for something like 95% of the saving over the
forwards. They said they would send me a more detailed account of figures and percentages.
By 4pm would be ideal.
Thanks,
