Understanding physiotherapy under the NDIS

NDIS-funded physiotherapy helps participants improve movement, strength, balance, and physical function. Unlike Medicare-funded physio (which is typically short-term and injury-focused), NDIS physiotherapy takes a holistic, long-term approach to maintaining and building physical capacity.

The NDIS rate for physiotherapy is $183.99 per hour. Sessions are usually longer than standard Medicare physio appointments, allowing for more comprehensive assessment and treatment. Common focus areas include mobility training, strength and conditioning, hydrotherapy (pool-based therapy), post-surgical rehabilitation, pain management, and neurological rehabilitation for conditions like cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and acquired brain injury.

Hydrotherapy is particularly popular under the NDIS. The buoyancy and warmth of water make it easier for participants with mobility limitations to exercise, and the therapeutic benefits for muscle tone, joint range, and pain relief are well documented. Not all physiotherapists offer hydrotherapy, and pool-based sessions may attract a facility fee on top of the therapist’s rate, so clarify costs upfront.

Physiotherapists also play a key role in equipment recommendations. If you need a wheelchair, standing frame, or other mobility aid, your physio’s assessment and prescription report form part of the funding application. They work alongside occupational therapists on complex equipment needs and can provide trial periods to ensure the equipment suits you before the NDIS commits to purchasing it.

Home visits allow the physiotherapist to assess your mobility and physical function in your actual living environment, identifying fall risks and recommending practical changes. Travel charges apply for home visits and must be agreed beforehand. For exercise programs that need regular practice between sessions, many physios provide home exercise programs with video demonstrations that participants and support workers can follow independently.
