The NDIS Bill has passed. What now for Allied Health providers
Tighter reassessments, Minister-set pricing, a 90 day claiming window and a funding cut that lands in the same month as a wage rise.
Who I work with
Government, PHNs and commissioners
Primary Health Networks, departments and commissioning teams commission Allied Health. This is what the provider side of that looks like.
One-to-one practice support, funded for providers
I deliver practice support for Allied Health providers through a Primary Health Network, which funds one-to-one sessions for providers in its region. Each provider gets advice on its own business, and the PHN gets a de-identified view of the themes across the cohort.
Reform and commissioning
What is being legislated, what is being signalled, and how providers read each of them.
The NDIS Bill has landed. Here's what's actually in it for Allied Health providers.
A 10 per cent CBDA cut, Minister-set pricing, a new evidence test for reports and the start of the Thriving Kids transition. Here is the practical version.
Butler's NDIS Warning Shot: What Allied Health Providers Need to Know Before the Budget
Butler's National Press Club address did not mention Allied Health once. The reform summary published beside it did. What that gap means before the budget.

The Existential Threats Facing Allied Health Providers in 2026
Three risks are converging. Most providers aren't modelling any of them. Almost none are modelling what happens when they overlap.
Where the design is producing the outcome
Three places the design of the market, rather than the people working in it, is producing the outcome.
The NDIS FCA Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About
How a lack of standards created a market failure, shaped a profession, and why the overcorrection isn't the answer either
New Graduates Are Not The Problem. Our Systems Are.
Graduate turnover gets blamed on resilience and generational attitudes. The real problem is how we design recruitment, supervision, flexibility and systems.
Why Allied Health Advocacy in the NDIS Keeps Missing the Point
A year of hard advocacy has not shifted outcomes. Why that is, and how grounding the case in evidence and public value would make the next round land.

Want the provider-side view on something?
I work inside provider businesses every week, so I see how they operate and where the market is under strain. That is a different vantage point from the one a commissioning team usually has. Book a discovery call. You leave with an honest read on where things stand and a clear recommendation.
