Independent Member for Clark, Andrew Wilkie, asked the Minister for Disability and the National Disability Insurance Scheme the following in Question Time.
“Minister I’ve now met many allied health professionals who are concerned that the recently reviewed NDIS pricing structure, including cuts to travel and remote area rates, risks the supply of essential services in rural, regional and remote markets like Tasmania.
“Minister, will you pause these changes and properly consult with all concerned to ensure price settings are affordable for NDIS clients, and sustainable for allied health professionals.”
