National Disability Insurance Scheme Provider Definition Consultation

Join AMT in making a submission to the Australian Government

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing is seeking views from the disability community and NDIS providers about the definition of a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider in the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013. They are inviting people with disability, families, carers, providers, and the wider community to help shape this important reform.

AMT is encouraging NDIS participants, families, and carers who are impacted by the current exclusion of remedial massage therapists and myotherapists to make their own submission to the consultation. Personal stories from people who would benefit from direct access to massage therapy are powerful evidence for change. You can read more in our fact sheet.

AMT has prepared a template with suggestions for how you might respond to the questions included in the consultation. The template is designed to help you share your experience and advocate for this important change. Please download the template and get started on your submission today. The deadline for submissions is 28 February 2026.
