The Thriving Kids Advisory Group Final Report marks a shift from broad intent to a nationally agreed model for early childhood support. This article explains what Thriving Kids is designed to solve, how commissioning, Medicare and education integration will work, and what the reform means in practice for Allied Health providers.

The sector has worked hard to advocate through a year of intense reform, but even our strongest efforts have not shifted outcomes. This piece looks at why, and how we can ground our advocacy in evidence, public value and clearer communication about the impact of therapy. If we want to influence the next chapter of NDIS reform, it starts with why.

NDIS reforms are reshaping the role of Allied Health. With support needs assessments, the I-CAN tool, and the Thriving Kids program on the horizon, report writing and service delivery will look very different in the years ahead. This article explores what these changes mean for clinicians and providers, the risks to manage, and the opportunities for those who stay ethical, adaptive, and focused on quality.

The final NDIS Pricing Arrangements for 2025–26 are confirmed — and providers have just two weeks to prepare. This blog outlines exactly what Allied Health businesses should do now to protect revenue, adjust operations, and support their teams ahead of 1 July.

The NDIA’s 2024–25 Annual Pricing Review proposes major changes to therapy rates and travel claims for Allied Health providers. This breakdown explores how the new recommendations could impact provider revenue, with real-world modelling and practical options for adapting to the shift.
