Understanding occupational therapy under the NDIS

Occupational therapists help NDIS participants build independence in everyday activities — from getting dressed and preparing meals to accessing education, employment, and community life. The ‘occupation’ in occupational therapy refers to any meaningful activity, not just work.

The NDIS rate for occupational therapy is $193.99 per hour. A typical initial assessment takes one to two hours and involves evaluating the participant’s functional capacity across their daily environment. The OT then prepares a report with recommendations that may include therapy goals, equipment suggestions, home modifications, or strategies for managing daily tasks more independently.

For children, paediatric OT often focuses on fine motor skills, sensory processing, handwriting, self-care routines, and school participation. For adults, the focus tends to shift toward workplace adjustments, driving assessments, home modification recommendations, and managing the effects of progressive conditions. OTs who work with specific age groups or disability types will have different skill sets, so it’s worth asking about a practitioner’s specialisation.

OT assessments and reports play a critical role in NDIS funding decisions. When your plan comes up for review, your OT’s functional assessment provides evidence for the level of support you need. A thorough assessment from an experienced OT can be the difference between adequate funding and a shortfall. Many OTs also provide evidence for assistive technology funding, home modification applications, and Specialist Disability Accommodation eligibility.

Home visits are common in occupational therapy, as the therapist needs to see how you function in your actual environment. Travel charges under the NDIS are capped and must be agreed in your service agreement before the visit. If you live in a regional or remote area, some OTs offer telehealth for follow-up sessions, though initial assessments are typically done face-to-face.
