MS Australia’s submission to the 2023-24 NDIS Pricing Review draws on input from our Member Organisations and emphasises the need for higher pricing for therapy supports to match allied health salaries, consistent pricing across regions, separate travel funding, and removal of travel caps. It advocates for appropriate support coordination and plan management hours, annual pricing indexation, reduced administrative burdens, and improved planning processes to enhance service delivery for people with MS.
