Top 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions About NDIS Physio – Everything You Need to Know

Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding how NDIS physio fits into your plan. Whether you’re a participant, carer, or support coordinator, it’s essential to know how physiotherapy services can support your long-term health, mobility, and independence.

At Physiotherapy Now, our team of registered professionals is here to help you make informed decisions about your care. In this guide, we answer the top 10 most frequently asked questions about NDIS physiotherapy and explain how we can support you through personalised NDIS physio services.

1. What is NDIS Physio, and How Can It Help Me?

NDIS physio refers to physiotherapy services delivered under an NDIS plan to help individuals with a disability improve their physical function, manage pain, and increase their independence. These services include exercise physiology, remedial massage, postural pain management, shockwave therapy, and other targeted treatments.

Physiotherapy under the NDIS supports both daily activities and long-term health outcomes. Whether you’re living with a neurological condition, musculoskeletal disorder, or developmental disability, a tailored physio plan can assist with mobility, coordination, strength, and quality of life.

2. Who Is Eligible for NDIS Physiotherapy Services?

To access NDIS physiotherapy, you must:

  • Be an approved NDIS participant
  • Have physiotherapy or related services listed in your NDIS plan
  • Require treatment to support your disability-related needs

NDIS participants with conditions like cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or acquired brain injuries often benefit greatly from physiotherapy. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our registered team at Physiotherapy Now can help you understand your plan and guide you through the process.

3. What Does an NDIS Physio Appointment Involve?

An NDIS physio appointment is tailored to your specific needs. It typically includes:

  • An initial assessment of your current physical function
  • A discussion of your goals and NDIS plan objectives
  • Hands-on treatment, such as soft tissue therapy or massage therapy
  • Exercise programs, such as clinical pilates or group exercise sessions
  • Ongoing reviews to measure progress

We use a holistic approach that may also include shockwave therapy, postural correction, and pain management techniques.

4. Is Physiotherapy Covered Under My NDIS Plan?

Yes—if your plan includes Improved Daily Living Skills or Improved Health and Wellbeing supports, physiotherapy is typically covered. These categories can fund individual or group exercise, assessments such as functional capacity evaluations, and specialised therapies like remedial massage or exercise physiology.

5. How Often Can I See an NDIS Physio?

The frequency of your appointments depends on:

  • Your goals and support needs
  • Your budget allocation
  • Recommendations from your physiotherapist

Some participants may benefit from weekly or fortnightly sessions, while others may only require a monthly check-in or a short-term intensive plan. At Physiotherapy Now, we prioritise continuity of care and long-term progress, so we’ll help you schedule sessions that make the most of your NDIS funding.

6. What Kind of Treatments Are Offered Under NDIS Physiotherapy?

Our NDIS physiotherapy services at Physiotherapy Now include:

7. Can I Access NDIS Physio for Children or the Elderly?

Absolutely. NDIS physiotherapy supports individuals of all ages—including children with developmental delays and older adults receiving aged care support under the NDIS. Our clinicians are experienced in paediatric and geriatric care, and we adapt our approach to match age-specific needs and developmental stages.

We understand that younger and older clients may benefit from different interventions, such as play-based therapy for children or fall prevention programs for seniors.

8. Do You Provide Mobile or Home Visit NDIS Physio Services?

Yes! At Physiotherapy Now, we understand that mobility or transportation may be a barrier, so we offer mobile physiotherapy services. Our registered physiotherapists can visit you at home, school, work, or supported living environments.

This is particularly helpful for clients with higher physical support needs or those looking for a more comfortable treatment setting. We bring all the necessary equipment and adapt the therapy to your personal environment.
