Right now, there are not enough therapists to meet the demand across the NDIS.

This is causing long wait times and, for many families, their NDIS funding remains unused.

But your therapy does not need to be delayed.

Online therapy is considered one of the most effective ways to access Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech Pathology, and Psychology.

For example:

✅ An OT can observe you in your home in real time and give practical, personalised recommendations

✅ Whether you’re working with an OT, Speech Therapist or Psychologist, your sessions can fit more easily into your schedule, reducing travel time or cancelled appointments

✅ You can work with the right therapist, not just the local one

👉🏼We explain how online therapy can get you started sooner and make better use of your NDIS funding.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day. 💙

Awareness matters. But real inclusion happens through action.

This is a throwback to our Create Space Arts Initiative, where MyCareSpace and The A List partnered with major arts and cultural venues across Australia to design autism friendly inclusive public programs.

Our work was led, managed and delivered by autistic people - turning inclusion into leadership and much more!

📽️ In this video you’ll see what that looked like in practice.
Joy. Creativity. Connection. Leadership.

We are proud to continue working alongside and supporting autistic people and creating spaces where neurodiversity is welcomed and celebrated.

NDIS goals can vary based on what your needs are related to your intellectual disability.

💡 When setting goals, focus on what you want and need and relate this to the different areas of funding established by the NDIS.

These are all questions to consider when determining goals related to your intellectual disability.

➡️ How does your intellectual disability impact you in day to day life?
➡️ What opportunities are there to build your capacity if linked in with the right therapist or provider?
➡️ Is there support you need in day to day life to be funded by the NDIS?

Is your NDIS therapy funding still sitting there unused? This could affect your funding in your next plan. ⚠️

Unused therapy funding is the part of your Capacity Building budget and this usually sits under Improved Daily Living.

It may include therapies like:

🧩 Occupational Therapy
🗣 Speech Pathology
🧠 Psychology
🏃 Physiotherapy

If your plan has funding periods, unused funds can roll forward within the same plan.

But there is an important rule.

❗ Unused therapy funding does not roll over into your next NDIS plan.

When your NDIS plan ends, the remaining funds are not carried forward.

This happens more often than people realise.

Sometimes it happens because:

📋 You were placed on waitlists
📍 There were no therapists available
⏳ Reports or assessments caused delays
🏥 Circumstances changed during the plan

However, during plan reassessments the NDIS Planner will consider your current usage along with other evidence.

If therapy sessions did not happen, there may be:

📄 Fewer reports demonstrating progress
📊 Less evidence to support ongoing therapy

This can influence how your next plan is funded.

NDIS Providers, are you charging your NDIS participants GST? You need to check this first. 💡

NDIS services often do not attract GST and in many cases, they are GST-free. But only if certain conditions are met.

For an NDIS service to be GST-free, four things must apply:

📋 The participant has an active NDIS plan
📌 The support is reasonable and necessary
📝 There is a written service agreement
✔️ The support is listed by the ATO as GST-free

If one of these is missing, GST may need to be charged.

Many providers also work with both:

👤 NDIS participants and
👤 Non-NDIS clients

That means you may be delivering a mix of GST-free and GST taxable services. Your accounting system needs to handle both correctly.

Another important point.

If GST is charged by mistake, find out what you need to do.

You may need to:

💰 Pay the GST to the ATO
📄 Issue a corrected invoice
↩️ Refund the GST to the participant or plan manager
📊 Adjust your BAS

There is also a long list of supports that are considered GST-free, including:

🏠 Household tasks
🧭 Support coordination
🗣 Interpreting and translation
🎓 Assistance with education and employment
🧠 Behaviour support and therapeutic supports
🔧 Home modifications

Understanding when GST applies can help providers avoid making billing mistakes and compliance issues.

• Which NDIS services are GST-free
• Which supports are GST-applicable
• What to do if GST was charged by mistake
• How providers can correct invoices and reclaim GST through BAS

Australia’s new Aged Care Act officially took effect on 1 November 2025, marking one of the most significant changes to the rights of older people and the delivery of aged care services in Australia in decades.

Key changes:

☑️ A Statement of Rights for older Australians: For the first time, older people receiving government-funded aged care are protected by a legally enforceable Statement of Rights.

☑️ Stronger accountability for providers: Aged care providers now face higher governance, reporting and safety requirements.

☑️ Greater transparency around fees and care: Providers must communicate costs, care plans and services in clear language.

☑️ New provider registration categories: Instead of one broad provider category, organisations will register based on the type of services they deliver.

☑️ Support at Home has commenced: The Support at Home (SAH) program has replaced Home Care Packages and short-term restorative care.

👉🏼 To understand how these changes may affect your business or someone you are supporting access Aged Care services, read our full blog https://ow.ly/xLpF50YrCic

Our Story

MyCareSpace is an online community that creates meaningful connections for people living with a disability so they can build “extra” ordinary lives.

We do this using our national NDIS Provider Directory which has over 13,000 NDIS registered providers listed and searchable using NDIS support category, key word and post code filters. A separate interface exists for Support Coordinators and Local Area Coordinators enabling them to search for services and providers using NDIS Support Categories.

We create meaningful connections via our evidence based Resources which have a strong focus on sharing NDIS related information that builds capacity using simple plain English. Our webinars are hugely popular and tackle big topics like “Autism and the NDIS” and many, many more.
