We have been engaging with providers and peak bodies to understand the best way of implementing the recommendations from the Independent Pricing Review released in March 2018.
We are prioritising those recommendations that provide the most immediate support to providers during transition, with every endeavor being made to implement those recommendations on 1 July 2018 as part of the FY2018-19 Annual Price Review. Those recommendations include:
- 4 – Regional Travel
- 10 – Short Term Accommodation
- 14 – Temporary Support for Overheads
- 15 – Cancellation policy for core supports
- 16 – Group supports
- 18 – Therapy assistants (phase one)
- 19 – Therapy travel
- 20 – Cancellation policy for therapy
- 21 – Reports requested by NDIA
