Why take this course?

Are you a provider of group services who recently made the switch to the new apportioned pricing model? Now that the dust has settled following this whopping change, many providers are taking a deep breath, reflecting on their current service delivery, and asking the big question: how do we remain viable under this new model? Hint: there’s no magic wand but almost every provider can make changes to improve viability.

This workshop is an opportunity for providers to jump out of their comfort zone and stop, reflect and reconsider their services. We’ll guide you through how to review different areas of your business, uncover opportunities, and create the beginnings of a detailed action plan to improve viability.


What you’ll gain

In five practical hours, we’ll dive into: 

  • How to perform an internal review, including analysing back of house efficiencies, processes, managing costs, billing compliance, and systems

  • How to compare current group services to NDIA and NDIS Commission expectations in key areas like Centre Capital Cost, Non-Face-to-Face and the Disability Support Worker Cost Model

  • How to pinpoint opportunities to improve viability, including service design, marketing, grants and funding, and diversifying your service offering 

  • An action plan template, to be created during the workshop, highlighting areas where viability improvements can be made


Who’s it for?

  • Managers of group-based services looking for a clear plan to boost viability
