We recently conducted a snap poll in response to the reduction of the hourly rate as part of the 2024-2025 NDIS Annual Pricing Review. Read on to see the results. We’re also giving all podiatrists the opportunity to lend their voice to the conversation.

Yesterday, the NDIA published the 2024-2025 Annual Pricing Review. The APodA is disappointed to see that the NDIS has recommended to reduce the hourly rate for podiatrists against the backdrop of rising costs to deliver services.

The NDIS Amendment Bill changes came into effect on 3 October 2024. The APodA recently met NDIS representatives to explore how best to support podiatrists moving forward in confidently navigating the NDIS scheme. Read on for a selection of relevant updates.

Disappointingly, allied health NDIS price limits have not been increased this year across the board. The outcome of stagnated NDIS pricing for podiatry is undoubtedly putting pressure on podiatrists, especially considering labour costs and rents have increased.

The passing of the NDIS Bill on 22 August has introduced significant changes to the NDIS Act, prompting concerns regarding the impact on podiatry services. The APodA is dedicated to advocating for clarity on how these changes will affect podiatrists both now and in the future.

According to a recent poll shared in our 'Podiatrists in Business' Facebook Group, 51% of respondents told us understanding how to navigate NDIS funding is a key challenge.
