In this episode of Allied Health Business Brilliance, Cathy Love is joined by Layland Webb, Business Manager at Nacre Consulting, for a timely conversation recorded during a significant week of sector change, policy discussion and budget anticipation.

Cathy and Layland unpack the early signals emerging from the New South Wales procurement model, the likely implications for Thriving Kids, and what Allied Health Business Owners need to be thinking about now.

This conversation goes beyond clinical service delivery. It looks at governance, evidence, risk exposure, diversification, subcontracting opportunities, government expectations, and the growing need for Allied Health businesses to operate with stronger commercial sophistication.

For business owners watching NDIS reform, Thriving Kids, state budgets and procurement decisions unfold, this episode is a clear reminder: waiting quietly is not a strategy.

Topics covered on clinical governance, business exposure, and diversification of Allied Health business:

Governance is non-negotiable – Allied Health businesses need clear structures, reporting, evidence and risk management to be taken seriously in future contracting environments.
Knowing your business risk exposure – why owners need to understand their revenue, referral, workforce and service model risks before reform impacts land.
Diversification requires strategic business mindset – Explore future opportunities across schools, government, NGOs, subcontracting and existing business IP beyond direct clinical delivery.
