We have discussed key areas impacting our profession, including AT funding in Aged Care, the NDIS, access to the MBS, and utilisation of multidisciplinary care in Public Health Networks.

We thank the Minister and the DSS for taking the time to meet with us today and work together to resolve these issues.

Today our CEO Jessica Landers, and board member Nigel Freeman joined Serena Ovens and Chair Nikolas Witcombe from ATSA - Assistive Technology Suppliers Australia met with the Hon. Bill Shorten MP, Minister for the NDIS, at Parliament House in Canberra.

In turn, we agreed to build better relationships within the AT sector and explore product stewardship.

AOPA will continue to keep working to make sure all NDIS participants have timely and equitable access to the AT they need.
