NDIS changes could hit hard in the bush

17/07/2025 by The Coonamble Times

There’s concern within Western Plains communities about how changes to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025–26 will affect people with a disability living in rural, regional and remote areas.

NDIS pricing changes from 1 July 2025 will include:• Travel claims cut by 50 per cent• Physiotherapy rates dropping by $10 an hour, from $193.99 to $183.99• Podiatry and dietetics rates dropping by $5 an hour from $193.99 to $188.99

Western providers say the reductions will make it harder to deliver services to the people who need them . . .
