Scott Morrison, Robert De Luca (CEO NDIA) and Graeme Head (NDIS Commissioner) all walk in to a bar…<\/p>\n
Ok so it doesn’t quite work like that but you could be mistaken for thinking a night on the gin and tonics has made for several positive outcomes for NDIS service providers and their workforce.<\/p>\n
Just last week the Federal Government announced an increase to price limits for therapy, attendant care and community participation under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), effective 1 July 2019. The media release from the Assistance Minister noted these price increases will inject more than $850 million into the NDIS market in 2019-20, and the new prices include a minimum increase of almost $11 per hour for therapists and up to a 15.4 percent price increase to the base limit for attendant care and community participation.<\/p>\n
At the same time the NDIS Commission released a grant opportunity that offers a funding pool of $5.6m in its first round (with more rounds to follow) to attract, retain and optimise the NDIS workforce as the market sets to more than double in the new few years.<\/p>\n
The grant coupled with the price increase is definitely a positive step in the right direction to build the disability sector capacity and service provider readiness in the transition.<\/p>\n
