What Is NDIS Physiotherapy?
NDIS Physiotherapy is specialised physiotherapy care funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme for eligible participants. This support helps people with permanent and significant disabilities access professional physiotherapy services that improve their functional capacity, independence, and quality of life. Unlike standard physiotherapy, NDIS Physiotherapy takes a long-term, goal-focused approach aligned with your NDIS plan objectives.
NDIS-registered physiotherapists work collaboratively with you, your support network, and other healthcare providers to develop comprehensive treatment strategies. They address mobility challenges, pain management, strength building, and functional skills necessary for daily living. Whether you’re managing a congenital condition, acquired disability, or degenerative disease, NDIS Physiotherapy provides ongoing support tailored to your evolving needs. The funding covers assessment, treatment sessions, equipment prescription, and capacity-building activities that help you achieve greater independence.
