Description

In episode 45, Gerda shares a candid, practical take on the current NDIS landscape as well as her take as to the right next steps to future proof your practice.

From inconsistent pricing and slashed travel allowances to the newly announced Thriving Kids Program, Gerda unpacks what’s changing, why so many providers feel exhausted and disillusioned, and how to make grounded decisions that protect your team, clients, and business.

Drawing on years of working with NDIS and non-NDIS practices, Gerda offers a clear-eyed path forward allowing practice owners to reduce their over-reliance on third-party payers, and reframe their business model for sustainability.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• What the latest NDIS pricing changes and the Thriving Kids announcement mean for paediatric practices.
• Why over-reliance on third-party payers amplifies risk and how to rebalance toward sustainable private revenue.
• Practical steps to start diversifying now (even if you feel overwhelmed), including targets and market shifts that work.

Who this Episode is for:

• Allied health practice owners (especially paediatric and NDIS-heavy practices) seeking clarity and a practical plan.
• Leaders ready to future-proof their business, reduce risk, and protect margins without burning out their team.
• Owners who want to balance impact and freedom with serving their community, whilst building a resilient, values-driven practice.
