Please consider these 3 points on your next referral:

1.Best-fit matching rapport - prioritise participant outcomes and case complexity for reports.

2. Experience & approval rates — especially in FNQ where service scarcity & cultural context are significant.

3. Price-only engagement risks poorer long-term outcomes, higher plan reviews, and increased system cost.

In FNQ, my NDIS rate — despite being the first clinical NDIS-registered provider is the same as that of new graduate clinics. Meanwhile, OT colleagues in a metro area with comparable qualifications are paid for their experience. AHPRA will also not allow a report be completed in a small time frame that is clinically unsafe.
