Recent NDIS travel allowance changes have been tough on allied health and support providers.

Changes to NDIS to travel changes came into effect on 1 July, cutting travel subsidies paid to allied health providers by 50%.

Speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and other allied health professionals travel to participants in rural and regional areas to provide services that are part of their NDIS plans.

These changes have not been well-received by allied health professionals or their clients, and there continues to be an impact on how services are delivered to rural and regional clients.
For plan managers, families and OTs, it’s more important than ever to consider mobility equipment as a way to reduce reliance on in-home or clinic visits.

Investing in the right mobility aids can enhance participant independence and mitigate some of the impact of reduced service access.

The success stories of the NDIS "are now at risk", health providers and their regional clients warn, ahead of travel allowance payments being cut in half from next week.

Mobility aids are more than just a convenience. For some people they are an essential tool for safety and independence.

Falls are one of the leading causes of hospitalisation in older women.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 2022-23 fall injuries are estimated to have cost the health system about $5 billion.

Females have a higher rate of age-standardised falls, and most falls are due to incidents such as slipping, tripping and stumbling. Read more here > https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/injury/falls

Properly selected walkers, rollators or standing frames can reduce fall risk, giving senior women the confidence to ‘age in place.’

Essential tools such as grab rails, shower chairs and bed rails can all help support women’s mobility in older age.

Mobility equipment does so much more than just help women move better in their later years, it increases safety, supports independent living, improves comfort and makes daily tasks easier.

Our team helps plan for mobility supports that truly enhance quality of life, not just for now, but for years to come.

Important NDIS update: new framework introduced from mid-2026

A new planning framework for the NDIS will be introduced from mid-2026. According to the NDIA, this reform aims to make planning ‘fairer, easier to navigate, and more flexible.’

The biggest change is to support needs assessments, which will be the new way for NDIS planning.

Previously, NDIS eligibility was assessed by gathering and submitting medical records. From mid-2026, new applicants and existing patients being reassessed will have an interview with an NDIA assessor.

The government says the new process will make support planning simpler, fairer and more accessible, but there are still questions left to be answered around how these assessments will determine the level of support a person gets.

You can read more about the new changes here > https://theconversation.com/how-people-are-assessed-for-the-ndis-is-changing-heres-what-you-need-to-know-266255

Instead of collecting evidence and submitting reports, participants will have an interview with an assessor that lasts up to three hours.

Did you know mobility needs may change for women during pregnancy and after childbirth?

Whether you are suffering from a pregnancy-related condition that requires mobility support, or have a disability and become pregnant, pregnancy can mean big changes for your mobility needs.

Pregnancy may be making your existing disability an increased challenge, or changes with balance, join, foot pain or pelvic girdle pain could be causing you difficulty.

Even general pregnancy pain, pregnancy complications or recovery from a C-section can make mobility extremely difficulty during this season of life.

We work closely with individuals, OTs, support coordinators and NDIS decision makers to assess and recommend safe mobility equipment that adapts to changing needs.

We have a range of mobility supports in-store, such as canes, walkers, mobility scooters and other items that may bring support, such as compression stockings, braces and belts, lift chairs and shower chairs.

Let us help make the pregnancy and postpartum experience more comfortable.
