Please share and help us let the government know that this isn’t close to ‘good enough’

Australian Physiotherapy Association is the peak body representing the interests of 30,000+ physiotherapists & their patients. See PD, resources & advocacy.

Many of you will have seen yesterday’s announcement by the NDIA that it is decreasing the price limit for physiotherapy.

This decision has implications for physiotherapists that go beyond a business perspective. The professional implications are significant. Today, physios working in disability across Australia are feeling devalued and betrayed. Our physios will be putting on a brave face as they continue to support their clients to achiever their goals. Help your physio feel seen and acknowledge the invaluable role they play.

Please stand with your physios, today and in the days to come as we all continue to navigate ongoing NDIS changes.

Our peak body, the Australian Physiotherapy Association continues to seek a reversal of this decision.
