When presenting needs for high support individuals it is helpful to breakdown for the NDIS a comparison of hours spent and allocated based on the NDIS plans compared to industry standards.
For Example: Comparing hourly rates for NSW Health employed Occupational Therapists as compared to NDIS Support Workers.
Yearly Salary for NSW Health – Allied Health Professional (2019)
NDIS Disability Support Worker Cost Model (2020-2021)
What percentage is allocated to Core funding for carer support versus Capacity Building for therapy support?
