Please be prepared to be told we can only see you in the rooms or via telehealth, as a small business these type of losses are not something we can absorb.

Fun how the NDIA executives are paid $800 000+ per annum but they want to force those of us at the coal face to work for less - therapists haven't had an increase in rates for more than 6 years despite the acknowledged cost of living increases (and we didn't determine our worth in the first place)

When you actually point out what they are suggesting it just seems ridiculous - why should we be any less valuable than other professionals

Providers can't keep absorbing the costs - the rhetoric is just more therapist bashing

NDIS changes will break local providers

Dawn service at Nanango - the young and the old. Hoping our young men will not have to face more than peace keeping though.

Thank you to all veterans but especially those we are privileged to care for.

Lest we forget

“Occupational therapy is a quiet rebellion against the reductionist view of health, insisting that well-being is not merely the absence of illness, but the presence of meaning, purpose and agency in every moment of life.”

We are loving our new lycra swing! Finally found a way to suspend that didn’t involve significant construction work.

So privileged to be part of this amazing group and learning experience.

Contrary to what you might be hearing in the media today - the vast majority of NDIS providers and in particular Occupational Therapists like us are working tirelessly to ensure that our participants are being delivered quality services. Don’t forget that NOT all of us (in fact very few of your registered health professionals) are doing the wrong thing. Consider thanking your OT for the great work they do today.

This is NDIS justification for what is going on.

Interestingly, in contrast to Channel 9 claim that 90 percent of providers are committing fraud, the above article says the opposite, that the vast majority of providers do the right thing.

The main push of the article is plan managers and support coordinators have been told off for encouraging participants to spend their plan funds too quickly, then apply for more. There was a minor acknowledgement that this may be based on changed circumstances but mostly NDIS thinks this is unjustified.

But then it seems NDIS thinks providing funding that meets very basic needs is unjustified!

To all of the veterans who allow us to support them at their most vulnerable times, we thank you for your service. Please remember if you need our assistance at any time we are only a phone call away.
