NDIS therapy budgets are reducing.
Let’s help our clients’ funding go further.

NDIS changes are reducing therapy funding in affected plans. Our clients may have less funding available while still needing meaningful support. Working collaboratively gives us an opportunity to make that funding go further, with specialist therapy focused on your clinical expertise.

Your specialist therapy and NE’s paid Interest Based Supports each have a clear role. We agree our service and its eligible funding with the participant. With their consent, we share structured observations to inform your therapy, clinical review and reporting. You can receive this information without providing reports, goals or strategies in return. We manage our team and service.

More support around your work.
No additional team for you to manage.

Preserve specialist therapy time

Keep available therapy funding for your clinical work. NE’s Interest Based Supports use separately agreed, eligible funding. Each service remains accountable for the work it provides.

Receive structured information

With consent, receive dated observations of participation, support provided, context and change to inform your therapy, review and reporting.

Choose what you share

You can receive information without providing a report, programme or goals in return. Sharing relevant goals or strategies is an option when it adds value.

Work with an established team

We manage our long-term team, supervision and ongoing learning through The Nest’s FREE 2B ME Practitioner Pathway. You do not employ or manage our workers.

You retain your independently delivered therapy fees. NE manages its own team and service.

Participant choice comes first

Start with your client’s interests.

The participant chooses the Interest Based Supports they would like, subject to availability. Where their chosen interest is unavailable, we create a waitlist and gather interest until the minimum group size is reached.

Refer with basic details and permission to make the introduction. Optional information sharing is agreed separately with the participant.

Want NE to handle your practice administration too?

If you would welcome support with the costs and demands of running an NDIS registered practice, explore delivering agreed services within NE’s established registration, systems and administration. This is a separate, optional arrangement.
