Portfolio — 15 May 2026

Minister for the NDIS Jenny McAllister announced a one-off $1.42 million grant to Inclusion Australia on 15 May 2026, directing funds toward the co-design of practical, accessible resources to support financial decision-making for people with intellectual disability [TA-260515-ndis-17d76ee13031]. The grant is explicitly framed as a response to Royal Commission findings on decision-making support, with the stated aim of building individual capacity, respecting autonomy, and identifying supporters who can assist people with intellectual disability to manage their financial affairs [TA-260515-ndis-17d76ee13031].

Funding flows through the National Disability Advocacy Program under the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, with the grant period running from May 2026 to 30 June 2027 [TA-260515-ndis-17d76ee13031]. The co-design model — involving people with intellectual disability directly in resource development — is the portfolio's signal that implementation of Royal Commission recommendations will be participatory rather than top-down.

The portfolio's framing consistently pairs rights language with practical capacity-building, positioning the grant as a safeguarding measure as much as a service-delivery one. No parliamentary record is available for this date; today's activity is drawn from ministerial communications only.
