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.
