Board Price Increases October 2024

From 28 October 2024, board rates increase for people we support living in an Endeavour Foundation house.

Due to Queensland Government legislation allowing only one increase in rent every 12 months, there will be no further increases in rent for 2024.

This increase affects NDIS and DSOA people (Disability Support for Older Australians) with current Endeavour Foundation board agreements. If someone does not have a board agreement with us, the increase will not apply.

As the Youth Disability Support Pension remains unchanged, this board price increase will not affect anyone aged 21 years or younger.

We are contacting everyone affected to inform them of this increase.

New Board amounts

From 28 October 2024, rent and board rates per fortnight are:

Direct debits and statements after 7 November 2024 will reflect the new charges.

No one will be out of pocket. Board increases are in line with the disability support pension rates.

What do I need to do?

• Let financial admins know to speak to Centrelink if needed. If payment is made via Centrepay, financial administrators will need make this amendment themselves via myGov or by speaking directly to Centrelink.

• Let new clients know of the changes. There may be a gap in communication for any clients onboarded between 1 October and 31 October 2024. When onboarding people into our accommodation services, please let them know there will be an increase in rent and board on 28 October 2024 in line with the pension rate increases implemented in September 2024.
