A new Allied health capability framework is now publicly available to support the work of allied health professionals in delivering the NDIS.The Victorian Government has coproduced the Allied health capability framework: disability and complex support needs together with allied health professionals, professional bodies, disability services providers, academics, NDIS advisory bodies and consumers. NDS has contributed to the work in a variety of ways.The new framework is designed to develop the skills and knowledge of allied health professionals to better provide high-quality, person-centred support that promotes choice and control for people with disability and complex support needs. It will help guide allied health professionals to work ethically and collaboratively across professions and the service systems.

The framework is relevant along allied health career pathways, from new graduates to experienced practitioners. It applies to government, private and not-for-profit services. It concerns allied health services for children, young people and adults with disability along the health care journey, the NDIS pathway and at the meeting point of health and disability.
