Nambucca Valley Speech Pathology

What would it mean for your child and family if outreach therapy services were no longer available?

If your child currently receives support from a therapist or allied health assistant from Nambucca Valley Speech Pathology—whether at home, preschool, school, or in a community setting—we’d greatly appreciate a few minutes of your time.

Your feedback is important. Please complete this short survey to help us understand the impact of these services on your child and family. 🙏

The NDIS have released the Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, which start on the 1st July 2025.

The biggest change for families is that the NDIS has cut the travel price for allied health therapists to half the therapy rate. There is also a limit on how much travel time therapists can claim.

As a result, many therapists are now working out if they can continue to offer therapy at home, kindergartens, or schools.

The best thing to do is to contact your children’s therapists to ask if they will still travel to you.

🔹Have your say🔹

ACD is very concerned about this change. It is best practice for children to see therapists at home, kinder, school and other community settings. We know for many children and families it is not possible to get to clinic-based services.

We are raising our concerns with the NDIS. You can help.

Let us know what it will mean for your child and family if your child's therapist can’t travel to see you.

Please complete this short survey: Survey has now closed, thank you to the hundreds of families who completed the survey. Read our comment below for what we heard.
