Testing Post 1

Getting on to the NDIS, and going through reviews or making requests, has often meant focusing on what your disability stops you from doing.

Sure, that can help show what support you might need, but let’s be honest – it can also leave you feeling a bit “less than.” That’s why a new assessment tool is being introduced from mid-2026, and it’s aiming to change that experience.

It’s called the I-CAN, short for Instrument for the Classification and Assessment of Support Needs. But the name fits in more ways than one, because this tool is all about what you can do with the right support.

Instead of focusing only on what’s hard or not possible, the I-CAN flips the script. It helps you say, “I can do this, if I have the right supports in place.”

In this blog, we’ll walk you through what the I-CAN is, how it works, and what it means for you. You don’t need to do anything just yet, but when the time comes, you’ll feel ready and confident.

Because you can do it.
