The NDIS Provider and Worker Registration Taskforce rountable on Allied health and rehabilitation services, led by Michael Borowick, included discussions aimed at addressing the complexities of dual regulation in allied health and rehabilitation services within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Acknowledging gaps in the taskforce's understanding of AHPRA's framework, attendees delved into concerns of duplication, regulatory, administrative and cost burden to the already thin market that is Allied Health.
The Morrison government's efforts to align regulatory frameworks across sectors in 2021 were noted, aiming to streamline processes and enhance consistency in service delivery. However, concerns over pricing issues potentially driving a mass exodus from the NDIS market prompted proposals for sunset periods and staggered registration processes.
Ensuring continuous education and onboarding processes remains a priority, with the taskforce seeking detailed proposals for practical implementation. By fostering collaboration and implementing comprehensive reforms, the taskforce aims to improve outcomes for NDIS participants while supporting allied health providers.
