NDIS price changes are happening on the 1st of July and they will be devastating for people with disabilities and the amazing allied health professionals who love supporting them.

Many people have said they are unclear what is happening.

Most allied health professionals were absorbing costs and breaking even at best, with many running at a loss because of how passionate we are about helping people. Seven years on and our hourly rate hasn’t changed (has even reduced for some this year). This is despite the increasing costs including wages, super etc.

We are now also facing a huge loss with our travel rate being slashed by 50%. This means it is no longer going to be viable to complete essential health services in people’s homes. This will have an even greater impact on our regional and rural communities.

Seeing people in their homes is not a choice, it is essential. How do you complete home modifications, assess someone’s function in their environment or ensure they are carrying their skills into their own environment if you don’t visit their home?!

And all of this happened with two weeks notice. This is just one of many articles to help explain the situation.

If this affects you, please make sure you are expressing your concerns. Hopefully together we can help them to see the detrimental impact this will have on our community.

If the NDIA is serious about occupational therapy reform, it’s time to stop making decisions in a vacuum, writes Helen Whait.

The proposed changes to the NDIS price guide will have significant impacts to allied health providers. This will be more heightened in regional and remote areas. It will reduce access to services for people with disabilities and many services will close as they will be unable to meet basic costs. We need to attempt to change things now before people are unable to access vital therapy services. Please support OTs

OTs are at breaking point.

The NDIA has made a devastating pricing decision—one that freezes therapy support rates for the seventh year in a row and slashes travel funding for occupational therapists by 50%. These changes are already driving providers out of the system and leaving participants without essential care.

Occupational therapists deserve fair pay.

NDIS participants deserve consistent care.

OTA is campaigning for an immediate price uplift, a fit-for-purpose allied health costing model, and a reversal of the 50% travel rate cut – and we need your voice!

Here’s what you can do:
1.Sign our petition to the Australian Government and NDIA
2. Email your MP using our prepared template - it goes straight to your MP + NDIS decision-makers

We also call on our OTA members to share this with your networks. The more Australians who speak out - participants, families, therapists, and allies - the harder it will be for decision makers to ignore the devastating consequences of this pricing decision.
