No decisions yet here - I will be giving at least two weeks notice, so don't worry about overnight changes.

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.

📣 Advocacy Update | We have been working closely with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to ensure people with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) who meet access criteria can receive support from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The good news is we've heard of a number of people with DLD gaining access this year!

We have now been advised by the Minister's office that DLD families who have been declined NDIS access and would like to appeal the decision (we highly recommend that you do) can email The Hon Bill Shorten, Minister for the NDIS at his electoral office: minister.shorten@dss.gov.au and a dedicated team will help review the application and provide advice.

We believe this will be of great help to DLD families as we continue to work to raise awareness of DLD and how it impacts a person across their lifetime. Please email the minister and include the following information:

🟣 Introduce yourself & provide your name, email, phone number

🟡 Provide your NDIS number

🟣 Outline the problem/ History of application/s

🟡 Attach reports, letters & The DLD Project evidence brief

Please keep us up to date on your progress. Importantly, please keep in mind that this service is ONLY for families who have applied and been declined access to the NDIS and have the appropriate reports from therapists (ideally multiple therapists/educators) recommending that the person with DLD be granted NDIS access.
