Does the NDIS fund physiotherapy and who is eligible?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding for physiotherapy, to support individuals with various disabilities or developmental delays, improving their ability to move and perform daily activities independently.
To be eligible, you must:
- Be under 65 years old
- Reside in Australia as an Australian citizen (or hold a Permanent or Protected Special Category Visa)
- Have a permanent impairment or disability that significantly impacts your daily life
How does NDIS physiotherapy work?
NDIS physiotherapy focuses on the development of physical function and mobility through a range of targeted exercises and interventions, such as exercise, stretching and play, to help improve daily functional capacity.
Physiotherapy services usually fall under the Capacity Building support category, helping address issues with movement, strength, balance and impacting daily life in those with disabilities. Other supports like home modifications and assistive technology may be required, depending on the individual needs.
Through structured therapy plans and ongoing support by the NDIS framework, our physiotherapy services can deliver transformative benefits that can significantly improve quality of life and outcomes for individuals with disabilities.
What your NDIS plan covers
NDIS physiotherapy support ensures access to a variety of comprehensive services, including:
- Assessments: Detailed evaluations to understand and address specific needs.
- Individualised therapy plans: Customised strategies to improve motor skills, strength, and overall physical development and participation.
- Mobility support: Exercises and techniques to achieve better movement and independence.
- Assistive technology and equipment: Providing necessary devices to aid mobility and daily activities.
- Hydrotherapy: Water-based exercises to improve strength and flexibility.
