TELL DECISION MAKERS HOW SUPPORT COORDINATORS
AND PLAN MANAGERS HELP THOSE YOU LOVE AND CARE FOR

 

Support Coordinators and Plan Managers helps more than two thirds of all NDIS participants to navigate the complex scheme. But the government’s decision to freeze and reduce NDIS pricing limits threatens this support. If left unchanged, many Support Coordinators and Plan Managers will struggle scrambling to stay afloat, reducing their service radius, de-registering from the NDIS or closing their doors entirely. 

Stand with us as we shout don’t cut quality, don’t cut choice, don’t cut control!

We’re asking MP’s and the NDIA to: 

  • Pass on the 3.5% Fair Work wage increase and 0.5% superannuation increase to Support Coordination and Plan Management prices immediately, from 1 July – just like they’re doing for other supports.
  • Reverse the cut to establishment fees and rural/remote loadings for Plan Managers – these are vital for people living outside cities and starting on the scheme. Particularly with the recent introduction of Section 10 NDIS Support Lists and Section 33 Funding Periods.
  • Reverse the cuts to provider travel – so that services can still come to us in our homes and communities, not just in clinics or office settings.
  • Set up an independent pricing authority – because pricing decisions should be fair, transparent, and based on the real cost of delivering services. That includes wages, compliance, and the real value of what these services provide.

This is about more than this year’s Price Guide. It’s about building a stem that values quality supports for people with a disability over ‘dodgy data’ and spreadsheets.
