In this episode of the Profitable NDIS Provider Podcast, hosts Tania Gomez and Paul Bryan kick off Season 7 with an August debrief packed with wins, worries, and what to do next. From the proposed Thrive Kids program and mandatory registration consultation to Allied Health travel cuts, they unpack what’s changing—and share practical tech and ops moves you can roll out immediately.

Tania also recaps the launch of the multi-author book Your NDIS Business (400+ copies in the first month!) and previews two new titles arriving Oct/Nov. Paul shares updates from Profitable Provider including a fresh cohort completing the 30-day on-ramp, new Local Provider Hubs nationwide, and a sneak peek at Provider OS—a playbook-driven operating system for care businesses.
