03ConsiderationsCentral Coast is a major regional centre at MMM 2. Rates sit a step above metro for physiotherapists because the workforce is thinner and the catchment pulls cross-region demand. Sessional tags every shift with its postcode MMM and separates base rate from regional loading so the real hourly yield is comparable across offers.
Current NDIS price caps bind physiotherapists direct-billing rates in Central Coast regardless of payer. Sessional enforces the line-item caps and the 50 per cent travel-rate rule, with the MMM 2 travel-minute treatment applied for this catchment.
