Why take this course?

To remain financially viable, providers need to be paid for the services they deliver. It’s as simple as that. But thanks to a ‘perfect storm’ of events (removal of service bookings, pressure on plan sizes, changes to Support categories with the rollout of PACE, increased compliance action for certain Claim Types… to name a few) there’s growing incidences and risks that providers aren’t getting paid for the services they’ve already delivered. And no money = no viability (we don’t need to be accountants to work that one out). 

But now for the good news. There are simple, intentional and effective steps providers can take to mitigate the risk of bad debt. This practical two hour workshop will look at bad debt, the factors causing it across the sector, how your current practices might put you at risk of not getting paid, as well as what changes you need to make to remove that risk. You’ll leave with greater confidence and clear steps forward.

Rob Woolley

Our very own Woolly Mammoth, pulls up last in the alphabetical rankings but always gets a place on the DSC podium for combining curiosity with smarts. He knows so much about the NDIS it is scary. Rob lives a personal commitment to sharing his knowledge with an endgame of people with disability in control. Combining lived experience of the early childhood intervention pathway with professional experience of the realities of provider life - he has consistently shown the inability to hold down a real job. His roles in the disability sector have covered direct support work, project management, business development, consulting, ILC-funded advocacy roles and owner-operator of a registered and then unregistered provider (but the thing he is best at is being a very present dad). If you want a consultant or trainer in your corner you will be looking high and low to do better than our Rob.
