If you have a child on the NDIS, you probably know that things can change quickly.

A child might start school, move into a new classroom, lose an important informal support, experience a significant change in their functional capacity or need substantially more help with everyday activities. When that happens, parents naturally want to know: “What do we do if the current NDIS plan no longer meets their needs?”

New NDIS rules came into effect on 27 August 2026, and they change how unscheduled plan reassessments are requested.

The Play For Purpose Raffle is a fundraising raffle that gives people the chance to win fantastic prizes while supporting a charity or community organisation. When you purchase a ticket, you go into the draw to win one of hundreds of prizes, and your purchase also helps support the organisation you choose.

With Father’s Day just around the corner, it could be a great option if you’re looking for a gift for Dad that is a little different.

Play For Purpose Raffle 33 has 395 prizes to be won, with a total prize pool worth $400,000. That means there are plenty of chances to win, from major prizes through to vouchers for some of Australia’s favourite retailers.

The biggest prize is the $350,000 First Prize Pack, which includes a hybrid Lexus RX 450h+, $175,000 in gold bullion and more than $36,000 in shopping vouchers.

Other major prizes include:

2nd Prize: $15,000 Flight Centre gift voucher
3rd Prize: $7,500 VISA gift voucher
4th Prize: $5,000 JB Hi-Fi gift voucher
5th Prize: $2,500 Woolworths gift voucher
20 x $500: Myer gift vouchers
20 x $150: Harvey Norman vouchers
350 x $20: Woolworths gift vouchers
That’s 395 prizes and a total prize pool of $400,000.

Your ticket supports Autism Advisory and Support Service
There’s another reason to consider a Play For Purpose ticket this Father’s Day. Every ticket purchased helps support Autism Advisory and Support Service and the work we do with children, adults and families in our community.

So, if you’re stuck for ideas this Father’s Day, you could skip the usual socks, mug or novelty gift and give Dad something with a little more excitement.
