The new Act will support us to give funding for services.

This includes services for people with disability who aren’t part of the NDIS.

Funding is money from the government that pays for services and supports.

The new Act won’t affect any funding that people with disability get themselves, like:

• the NDIS

• the Disability Support Pension.
• The Disability Support Pension is a payment from the government to help with your day‑to-day living costs.

Instead, it will:

• give funding to services and programs that already exist

• support us to create new services in the future.

The new Act will work to keep people with disability safe when they receive services.

For example, by protecting their privacy.

When you have privacy, you can choose:

• what you want to keep safe and private
• what other people can know about you

When we heard from the community, they told us using the right language is important.

The new Act will use respectful language that people can understand.
