Policy and Advocacy Disability Update 23 August

Consultation closed on future NDIS Supports 

OTA made a submission to the Department of Social Services on the draft list of NDIS Supports. OTA had raised concerns to DSS about the two-week consultation period and the deadline was extended by a further week. OTA sought feedback from our NDIS NRG, OT clinical team, Driving Taskforce, and engaged with the AT sector to develop our submission. OTA’s submission recommended a wide range of amendments and improvement to ensure the list reflect the breadth of services that OTs provide and can encompass the wide range of prescriptions and interventions that OTs may supply to support participants.
