What the NDIS is
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government scheme that funds supports, including physiotherapy, for people with a permanent and significant disability. Every plan is different and built around the participant's own goals, such as getting stronger, moving more easily, or managing more of daily life on their own.
Who can get NDIS physiotherapy
To be eligible for the NDIS, you must:
- Be under 65 years of age when you apply
- Be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
- Meet the NDIS disability or early intervention access requirements
If you are not sure whether you qualify, check the NDIS eligibility checklist or call the NDIS on 1800 800 110 to make an access request.
What we offer
Hands-on treatment
Our physiotherapists use hands-on techniques alongside exercise, to ease stiffness and pain and make everyday movement easier. These include:
- Joint mobilisation, for stiff joints
- Deep soft tissue massage, for muscle tension
- Trigger point therapy, for tight knots in muscle
- Myofascial release, for tight connective tissue
- Dry needling, for muscle pain and spasm
- Stretching and nerve mobilisation
We work with you, your family and your support coordinator so that sessions line up with your plan goals.
Hydrotherapy
For participants who find exercise on land hard or uncomfortable, warm water takes some of the weight and supports your balance while you work on strength, flexibility and movement. Everyone has a land-based assessment first, covering medical history, posture, joint movement and goals.
Sessions are one-to-one with a physiotherapist, or in a small group where each person follows their own program under a physiotherapist's supervision. Bring bathers, a towel and a change of clothes, thongs or sandals for poolside, and any medication you need.
UpStrength exercise program
One-to-one exercise sessions with a physiotherapist, built around your NDIS goals and your ability, and progressed at your pace. The focus is:
- Strength and stability, for safer movement
- Mobility and coordination, for daily tasks
- Balance and flexibility, to lower the risk of falls
- Endurance, for getting out and about
For support coordinators and case managers
Call or email reception with the participant's details. One of our physiotherapists will call you back to talk through the goals and match the participant with the right physiotherapist. Sessions can be at the clinic, in the pool, or at home, depending on the plan.
