🧡 One story. One life. Real impact. 🧡
For the past three years, we’ve supported James—an NDIS participant—in his home, school, and local community. These aren’t just convenient locations; they’re where his life happens. Being there helps us work alongside his support network and make real-world progress.
But the recent NDIS Price Guide changes—announced just two weeks before they take effect—are putting this kind of support at risk.
Jamie lives more than 30 minutes away. The new cap on travel reimbursements means providers like us can no longer cover the cost of reaching children like him. It doesn’t cover wages, travel time, or fuel. And it threatens the kind of therapy that helps children thrive—not just survive.
And it’s not as simple as “finding a provider closer to home.” In many areas, there isn’t one. Or if there is, they may not have the experience or skills to provide the individualised support children like James need.
This isn’t just about funding. It’s about connection, safety, and inclusion. Without continued, localised support, Jamie risks losing more than a service he risks losing progress.
We’re speaking up—and you can too.
