What changed
The actual change in plain language: the notice, the rule, the figure. Never the press release.
Who it affects
Registered or unregistered, NDIS or aged care, home care or residential. If it isn't you, you'll know in a line.
What to do by when
The deadline and the first step, with the source linked so you can check us.
Read in full. Written in our own words. Linked to the source.
Stellar reads the whole notice, not the RSS blurb, and writes a summary that never stands in for the original. Every item ends with the link.
