We’ve got some exciting changes blooming here at Oak Tree Alliance! 🌱
As of 1 July 2025, Oak Tree Alliance officially began trading as Oak Tree Alliance Pty Ltd as we take the next step in our journey and transition to a company structure. This change reflects our growth and our ongoing commitment to providing you with high-quality, independent support coordination services.
As part of this transition, we will work with you to update our service agreements and consent forms to reflect the new business name. For participants on PACE plans, we’ll also need to re-establish our relationship with the NDIA to ensure everything runs smoothly.
We know paperwork isn't the most exciting part of life—but we promise, it’ll be worth it! 💪
We truly appreciate your understanding and ongoing support during this time of change. Thank you for being part of our community. We’re so proud to be growing alongside you and can’t wait for what’s ahead!
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Here’s to new beginnings!
🌳 Oak Tree Alliance Pty Ltd – same great people, new and improved name!
Warm regards,
The Oak Tree Alliance Team

🔔 NDIS Price Changes Are Here – But You’re Not Alone!
From July 1st, some support prices are increasing, others are decreasing, and key rules are changing — but don’t stress. Your Support Coordinator is here to help you understand what it means for your plan and make sure you’re getting the most from your funding.

🔺 Price Increases:
💬 Support Workers: A 3.95% price rise. NDIS plans will be automatically indexed to accommodate this change.
💬 Psychology: A new national price limit of $232.99/hr now applies.

🔻 Price Decreases:
💬 Physiotherapy: Now $183.99/hr.
💬 Dietetics & Podiatry: Reduced by $5 to $188.99/hr.

📌 Other Key Changes:
📍 Standardised Pricing: National pricing now applies for therapies like physio and psych – no more state-based price differences.
📍 Therapist Travel: Travel time is now billable at 50% of the hourly rate (within existing time caps).
📍 TTP Removed: The Temporary Transformation Payment is gone from June 30, 2024.
📍 Early Childhood Approach: Now includes children up to 9 years old (previously only up to 7).

📋 Provider Responsibilities:
Clearer expectations about declaring and managing conflicts of interest.

💸 Plan Manager Changes:
No more claiming set-up costs or remote/very remote loadings.

💡 If you're unsure how these changes affect you, chat to your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager!

Wow what a week! This week marks another major change in how NDIS plans are structured, with new funding rules coming into effect from 19 May 2025. This is the next biggest change since the 3rd of October legislation changes to NDIS supports.

From 19 May 2025, all new and reassessed NDIS plans will follow the new funding period system.

It’s another big shift from the NDIA, but at Oak Tree Alliance, we’re here to help. We’ll guide you through what these changes mean for you and your supports, and we’re always available to answer your questions.

So what are some key takeaways from this 19 May change:

📢 Starting Monday, 19 May 2025, if you get a new or updated NDIS plan, your funding will now be released in smaller chunks over time instead of all at once.

🗓️ What are funding periods?
This will vary from each participants, but funds may be released, every 3 months, 6 monthly or 12 monthly depending on your plan.

You don’t lose any unused money – it carries over to the next funding period within your current plan.

For Home & Living supports, funds will usually be released monthly.

Some items like assistive technology or home modifications may still be released in full.

📅 When does it start?
Your funding periods start on your plan’s start date.

💰 What happens to leftover funds?
If you don’t use all your funding in a period, the unused funds roll into the next period of the same plan.

Leftover funds at the end of your plan do not carry over to a new plan.

📤 How do claims work?
Updated information from the NDIA is that if there is an invoice that crosses over two funding periods, this should be okay.

❌ What if I go over my available budget?
If you try to claim more than what’s in your current period (including rolled-over funds), the whole claim will be rejected.

You can’t use funds from a future funding period.

🔁 Can I move funds between periods?
No, you can’t move money between periods yourself.

You can ask the NDIA to change how your funding is released (a plan variation).

If you need more total funds, you’ll need a plan reassessment.

🔓 Is my plan still flexible?
Core supports are still flexible (depending on how they are managed).

Capacity Building supports are also flexible, unless your plan says otherwise.

We know that this is a lot to take in, but you're not alone. Your Support Coordinator is here to help you make sense of these changes and guide you through them.
