Why take this course?
The NDIA’s release of the new Operational Guidelines for Therapeutic Supports marks one of the most significant changes ever for therapy under the NDIS. For allied health practitioners, the impact is immediate. What you write in your reports, how you claim for supports, how you justify continued services and what therapies are eligible are all under new scrutiny. The NDIA expects greater accountability, alignment with the PAPL Pricing and clearer documentation.
This workshop cuts through the complexity to explain exactly what has changed and how it will affect your practice today. We’ll map the new rules onto real therapy models, show you where non-compliance risks lie and help you align your documentation, billing and service decisions with the updated NDIA expectations.
What you’ll gain
After this session you will come away with:
A 6-point checklist to assess whether your therapy interventions meet the NDIA’s new definition of evidence-based practice.
A decision tree to help distinguish between capacity-building and maintenance therapy, so you can write reports using NDIS-aligned language.
A clear overview of the changes to Early Childhood requirements, including requirements to apply the National Best Practice Framework and the key worker approach.
A breakdown of the new 7-point compliance checklist, including the major new rule that therapy providers must adhere to PAPL pricing, regardless of how a plan is managed.
Guidance on billing for supervised allied-health students, including insurance implications and what the NDIA will and won’t accept.
Practical examples showing when Improved Daily Living (IDL) funds are flexible between therapy disciplines and when they’re not.
How to identify when therapy supports are not eligible for NDIS funding.
How to articulate your therapy outcomes in an NDIA plan reassessment report.
