The TS Community Access Evidence Hub offers a weekly program of engaging activities designed around different interests, abilities and goals.
From cooking and creative activities to games, fitness, movies and social evenings, participants can choose activities they enjoy while building skills, confidence and social connections.
Activities can be adapted to individual interests, preferences and support needs.
Functional observation and evidence reports that captures the participants level of prompting, supervision, assistance, risk management and skill development.
Participants, Families, Support Coordinators, Recovery Coaches, Occupational Therapist and other Clinicians - with stronger evidence for better planning conversations.
From mid-2026, the NDIS planning process will start changing to include a support needs assessment. This means planning will focus more on the participant's actual support needs in daily life, not just their diagnosis.
The assessment will look at how a participant manages everyday activities, including communication, decision-making, personal care, social interaction, emotional regulation, community access and safety.
It will become more important to show how a participant functions in everyday settings, not just what their diagnosis is. Evidence should describe what support is needed, how often it is needed , and what risks may occur if the right support is not in place.
The NDIA has adopted the I-CAN v6 tool as the starting point for developing the new support needs assessment approach. It is designed to assess disability support needs in a more consistent and person-centered way.
Participants, families, guardians and Support Coordinators should start thinking about how to collect clear evidence of what support is actually needed. Structured observation in real-life activities can help show the level of prompting, supervision, assistance, behavioural support and risk management required.
