What is Changing with NDIS Claims Time Limits?
The NDIS is introducing a two-year time limit for submitting claims, effective October 3, 2025.
Previously, there was no deadline for claim submissions. The amendment to the NDIS Act (effective 3 October 2024) now requires that all claims be lodged within two years of the support start date.
This change improves processing efficiency, reduces errors, and encourages timely submissions.

What Are the Key Dates for NDIS Claim Changes?
The most critical NDIS claims time limit dates are 3 October 2024, 2 October 2025, and 3 October 2025.
- 3 October 2024: NDIS Act amendment came into effect.
- 2 October 2025 (midnight): Grace period ends.
- 3 October 2025: Claims older than 2 years are automatically rejected by NDIS systems.
Note: If you have any outstanding claims older than 2 years, you must submit them before 2 October 2025.
What Does the Two-Year NDIS Claim Limit Mean for Participants and Providers?
The two-year NDIS claim rule affects both participants and providers.
- NDIS participants should coordinate with their providers or plan managers to make sure every claim is submitted on time.
- NDIS providers need to check their records immediately and submit any outstanding claims before the 2 October 2025 deadline.
- All users of the NDIS must follow the rule that, from 3 October 2025, every claim must be lodged within two years of the support start date.
