On Episode 50 (!!) of What in the NDIS now? Hannah catches up with... Hannah... to chat about the brilliant platform: Connector Co. Connector Co is the first and only real-time booking platform for scheduling allied health supports, and it's free to access for participants, carers and support coordinators. Most of us use HotDoc or something similar to book our appointments with a GP, where you can easily find a suitable practitioner, see their availability, and book, however here in the world of the NDIS, the process has been a laborious and frustrating experience, but not any more. Connector Co brings that same speed and ease of use to finding and booking allied health appointments, and we could not be more thrilled to hear more about it on today's episode.

To find out more about Connector Co, check out the website:

Welcome to part 2 of our two-part news special! Yes, we have slacked off in getting into the latest happenings and changes in the NDIS world, so here we are with a two-part special. This conversation was recorded on the 26th of August 2024, and sooo many extra news items have come up since our previous episode so we are back for part 2.

We get into the government's 'response' to the Disability Royal Commission, the legislative changes that recently passed through parliament, new worker registration categories, and also what is and what is not an NDIS support... strap in!
