The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Review report released yesterday has suggested 26 recommendations and 139 supporting actions for an improved Scheme. 

The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) welcomes the thorough work undertaken by the NDIS Review and commends the commitment to ensuring people with disability have access to quality physiotherapy and the supports they need, both within and outside the NDIS.

Ahead of the publication of the findings and recommendations of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Review, the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) reaffirms its commitment to an effective, equitable and fully funded NDIS. 

The APA also calls for broader reforms to ensure that all individuals with disabilities can access essential physiotherapy treatments and supports.

In the aftermath of an NDIS pricing review that overlooked an adjustment to Therapy Supports, the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) calls for an end to the inaccurate and damaging price-gouging rhetoric that continues to be unfairly pointed toward physiotherapy services and marring the real value that physiotherapy provides under the NDIS.
