In this episode, Nacre Consulting coaches Chantelle Robards and Layland Webb unpack why Allied Health businesses must move beyond a single funding source—and how to do it without derailing your core services. They cover the immediate push factors (e.g., Thriving Kids, support needs assessments, therapy guideline changes), then map out pragmatic steps to assess exposure, widen revenue pools, and steady operations through the next 12–24 months of reform. 

You’ll hear clear, objective moves—from in-house skills audits and adjacent offers to business-to-business/government packages and a minimum viable product approach that gets new services earning sooner. 

Topics covered on NDIS reforms, the urgency of diversification, and business strategy: 

• The Urgency of Diversification – A clear-eyed look at the specific NDIS reforms (Thriving Kids, Support Needs Assessments, new therapy guidelines) that are forcing business owners to rethink their reliance on a single funding stream. 
• Assessing Your Risk & Auditing Your Strengths – Discover the first critical steps: calculate your business’s true financial exposure to NDIS changes, then conduct an internal skills audit to uncover profitable service opportunities already within your team. 
• Actionable Growth Strategies – Explore practical ways to expand your offerings beyond 1:1 therapy, including moving into new markets (B2B/B2G), embracing the “Minimum Viable Product” concept to launch new programs faster, and adopting the agile mindset needed to thrive through change.
