NDIA update re Therapy Supports:

The National Disability Insurance Agency has advised that Therapy Providers are no longer able to use Core Funding for circumstances where the support is not linked to one of the approved Disability Related Health Supports. The NDIA has advised that participants must apply for a plan reassessment by following their Change in Circumstances process rather than use these line items moving forward. Therapy Line items under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living Skills, are still available if the participant has that support category and available funding in their plan.

As of July 1, 2023, a new NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2023-24 “price guide” was released. Please review page 37 of the price guide for Disability-Related Health Supports and page 53 of the price guide for Therapy Supports and Early Childhood Supports that can be used in relation to these Disability-Related Health Supports.
