Story in @CroakeyNews by Rohan Greenland from @MS_Australia
"...no increases in support for level 2 and level 3 support coordination and plan management, will put further pressure on our member organisations"

4⃣ Implement independent price setting. Only an independent pricing authority can set a transparent pricing model that accurately reflects the true cost of service delivery, including wage pressures, compliance costs, and the value of these services.

[Disability Intermediaries Australia @DIA_Aus]

Support Coordinators and Plan Managers aren't optional — they are essential. They support participants navigate a increasingly bureaucratic system, exercise their choice, amplify their voice, build capacity and ensure NDIS participants actually get the support they need.

2⃣ Reverse the cuts to establishment fees and rural/remote loading for Plan Management services;
3⃣ Reverse the cuts to provider travel so that services can be delivered in community settings not just clinics;

[Disability Intermediaries Australia @DIA_Aus]

Let’s be clear about NDIS Pricing:
📉 Prices are being cut in real terms for the 7th straight.
❌ NDIS is not passing on the Fair Work Commission wage increase.
🙅‍♂️ Changes were made behind closed doors. People with disability, their families, and providers were not consulted.

[Disability Intermediaries Australia @DIA_Aus]

@DIA_Aus CEO, @MrJessHarper told the @abccanberra: “Support Coordination and Plan Management are the glue that holds the NDIS together — and right now, that glue is being pulled apart.”

The sector calls on the NDIA and federal government for urgent action to ensure continued disability services. The NDIA’s pricing approach undermines quality, sustainable services and NDIS reform.
