NDIS 2026-27 cap $183.99/hr national. Travel reimbursable at 50% of rate, 30-min one-way cap in MMM 1 to 3, 60-min cap in MMM 4 to 5. Sessional applies the correct cap and travel rule per workplace postcode so your NDIS invoice does not get kicked back.
Titled physio endorsements (Sports, MSK, Neuro, Paed, Continence and Women's Health, Cardiorespiratory, Gerontological, Pain, Aquatic, Occupational) attract a $20 to $40/hr premium across private and NDIS work. Sessional stores your endorsement and defaults your rate accordingly.
WorkCover accreditation does not reciprocate: VIC TAC, NSW icare, QLD WorkCover, SA RTWSA, WA WorkCover. Sessional tags the accredited scheme against each workplace and warns you before each renewal.
Health Professionals and Support Services Award 2020 loads Saturday +50% and Sunday +75%. NDIS contractor work falls outside award coverage. Sessional separates award-loaded employee shifts from NDIS contractor shifts so your tax reserve sizes against the self-employed total.
Acupuncture and dry-needling sit separately under AHPRA endorsement. Sessional stores the endorsement against your profile so workplaces that require it can verify in one click.
