“The decision to cut price limits and travel expenses for physiotherapists and other allied health professionals under the guise of cost cutting is not only shortsighted, it’s neglectful. These changes will not save money. They will shift costs downstream and increase the cost of care to Australia’s broader healthcare system, as the functional mobility of NDIS participants deteriorates from diminished access to the vital care they need.”
Dr Rik Dawson MACP, National President, Australian Physiotherapy Association.
“Halving the price limit for provider travel time under the NDIS adds further access barriers for people with disabilities, particularly in outer metro, regional, and rural areas. It’s a decision that reduces participant choice and control, adds burdens on family and carers, and risks leaving communities with less support."
Antony Nicholas, CEO Osteopathy Australia
“The NDIA barely consulted with OTs, participants or any allied health bodies. They barely consulted with anyone. They ignored data showing 1 in 5 providers may close. This isn’t oversight – it’s neglect.”
Michelle Oliver , Chief Occupational Therapist, Occupational Therapy Australia
