Short-notice cancellations within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can impact both participants and service providers.
At Permalink Support Services, we understand that life can be unpredictable. Whether it’s a sudden illness, a family emergency, or any other last-minute change, cancelling an appointment with short notice happens.
Recent changes to NDIS guidelines mean that cancellations made with less than two business days’ notice can still incur a fee for up to 100% of the scheduled service.
For many participants, this can feel overwhelming, especially when unexpected circumstances arise. That’s why we’re here to guide you through these updates and provide support that aligns with your needs.
Short-Notice Cancellations: What Does it Mean?
Under the NDIS, a short-notice cancellation is defined as a cancellation made within two business days of the scheduled service.
This can lead to service providers charging for the appointment, even if the participant was unable to attend.
While this is in place to ensure service providers can manage their resources effectively, we understand that it may cause confusion or frustration for NDIS participants.
