Providers under pressure, time for action

A message from NDS CEO, Laurie Leigh

21/07/2023

Anger, stress and deep anxiety. Our recent Provider Pulse Survey on the impacts of the NDIA pricing announcement, issues with insurance coverage, and the impending roll out of the NDIA’s new payment system, PACE, has shown the depth and breadth of providers’ concerns about their financial viability. 

We’re hearing that the prices recently announced by the NDIA are making it virtually impossible for many providers to continue their services. Providers have told us they are considering closing services and are concerned about the impact this will have on the people with disability they support.
