Ironically, given the NDIS&#8217;s lack of collaboration and consultation, their mission to connect anyone with a disability to appropriate services, is questionable. And people with disabilities will be disadvantaged once again.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Brendan Joss<\/span>, ESSA&#8217;s President, remarked, &quot;The absence of meaningful consultation with trained exercise and sports science practitioners during the NDIS review is more than disappointing; it&#8217;s a missed opportunity. The NDIS review team is overlooking critical services that greatly benefit people with disabilities. Inclusive dialogue that respects and utilises the full spectrum of allied health services is essential to ensure informed recommendations and decisions are made.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Antony Nicholas<\/span> further emphasised, &quot;It is crucial to understand that osteopaths provide individual management plans to people to achieve functional outcomes that improve their ability to engage in activities such as meal preparation, community participation, or employment. If the NDIS is serious about ensuring that all participants have access to the services they want and require, then policymakers need to engage with all allied health professions.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>This statement coincides with the NDIS Review being handed to the Hon. Bill Shorten MP at the end of the month. The review findings will undoubtedly reflect that allied health professionals have not been adequately consulted. Osteopathy <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span> and ESSA believe that all allied health professions play a critical role in providing services to people with disability, a fact that the NDIS has failed to acknowledge and support.<\/p>\n<p>Notes to editors:<\/p>\n<p>About Osteopathy Australia:<br \/>Osteopathy <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span> is the national professional body representing the interests of osteopaths and promoting the highest standards of patient care.
