Allied health services like physiotherapy can be life-changing for NDIS participants, but new government pricing arrangements mean services that need to travel to clients may be too expensive.

🗣️ The NDIA is failing some of Australia’s most vulnerable people, including our children living with additional needs & disability.

🗣️ The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) alongside other peak industry bodies and professionals are calling on the Federal Government to review the NDIS pricing recommendations, which threaten essential supports and choice for people with disability.

🗣️ From 1 July 2025, the NDIS intends to either cut or maintain price limits for many allied health services, support coordination, and other necessary NDIS providers including funding for travel, despite inflation.

🗣️ This will make it financially unsustainable for many NDIS providers to deliver the complex, high-quality PHYSIOTHERAPY support participants need, especially in already underserved communities.

Dear Little Clapping Hands OT families,

Unfortunately the NDIS rate cuts to provider services will significant impact providers particularly OT ‘s ability to provide mobile services to homes, school, childcare and kindergartens. As you know a lot of OT’s job is around assisting to make life less challenging in these locations.

At this time, I am uncertain how my very small business will continue to run due to the current changes. Please sign these petitions and email your member of parliament making a statement of how the rate cuts to all allied health will impact your child and their ability to access services.

Right now, it’s the small, relationship-based providers — the ones who really know your kids, your families, your stories — who are being squeezed out.

If the proposed NDIS pricing changes go ahead, many of us will be forced to shut down mobile services completely —
We need your voice.

📨 Email your state MP and let them know you’re concerned about the future of services
📢 Share our posts and speak up on social media — your reach matters
✍️ Sign the petitions we’re sharing — it takes 30 seconds, but it shows decision-makers that families care

If you’ve ever felt supported by your OT, your speechie, your physio — now is the time to back them. We’re not asking for praise. We’re asking for a chance to keep doing this work.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening.
We do this with you, and for you.
