About Great North Health

Great North Health is an allied-health clinic on Great North Road in Five Dock, offering physiotherapy, speech pathology and psychology from a single practice in Sydney’s Inner West. The business is Great North Allied Health Pty Ltd (ABN 87 699 335 192), an Australian private company active since June 2026. Sessions are available in the clinic, at home, in schools, in the community and by telehealth.

In their own words: “Three therapies, one clinic, one set of goals.”

Great North Health takes NDIS referrals from self-managed and plan-managed participants — children, teenagers and adults. It is not registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, which does not prevent it from supporting participants funded either of those ways — but an NDIA-managed (agency-managed) participant generally cannot use an unregistered provider. Which category you fall into is the thing to check before booking.

Unregistered NDIS providers — what that means for you

Great North Health is not registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. It is honest to say so plainly, because for some participants it matters and for others it does not.

If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can use any provider you choose, registered or not, so long as the support is a reasonable and necessary use of your funding. If your plan is NDIA-managed, you generally need a registered provider to invoice the NDIA directly, so an unregistered clinic is not usually an option. Great North Health’s own NDIS page says the same: contact the clinic if you are agency-managed and they will tell you whether it fits.

Sort out the funding route before the first appointment, not after.

What to ask before choosing an allied-health clinic

Ask which clinician you would see and what happens if that person is away. Continuity matters in therapy, and it depends on the individual clinician more than on the size of the clinic.

For reports, ask for a written quote that sets out the assessment’s purpose, the estimated hours, travel and the report timeframe before you book. Great North Health’s fees page publishes this kind of information; it is a reasonable thing to expect from any provider.

For home visits, ask how travel time is charged and whether your suburb is inside their usual service area.

Comparing a few clinics is worth the time, especially where waitlists are long or the fit with the individual clinician is going to matter.
