We put forward 3 recommendations regarding changes to the definition of an NDIS provider, and registering providers within that definition: 

• Explicitly list APDs within the therapy-related support categories to ensure clarity for providers and participants.  
• APDs should fall under basic or light-touch registration. Future regulatory models for NDIS providers should be proportionate and recognise the high level of pre-existing regulation of allied health professionals 
• Explicitly include ‘nutrition and hydration’ in the “provision of in-home care and support services to a person to maintain their hygiene, mobility, social and economic participation.”
