Whether you're new to the scheme, returning after time away or looking for clarity amidst the latest legislative changes, this workshop will help you cut through the confusion and build solid foundations.

Help for all allied health professionals working in the NDIS, not just OTs!

What will you learn?

The NDIS can be complex. This session breaks it down, offering a clear, practical introduction to the structure, legislation, rules and operational guidelines that underpin the scheme.

• Key stakeholders (LACs, support coordinators, plan managers, NDIA planners) and their roles
• Funding categories (Core, Capacity Building, Capital, Recurring Transport) and plan management options
• Plan types, funding periods, and the difference between stated vs flexible supports
• The allied health professional's role in functional assessments, interventions and advocacy
• Service agreements and schedules of supports – what’s required and why they matter
• Price guide essentials, including travel caps, kilometre charging, apportioned travel, and billable vs non-billable time
