Understanding occupational therapy under the NDIS

The single most consequential output of an NDIS occupational therapy engagement is often the functional capacity assessment report — a document that becomes the evidentiary spine of your plan reviews, equipment funding requests, home modification applications, and Specialist Disability Accommodation eligibility submissions. A thorough functional capacity assessment from an experienced OT can mean the difference between funding that meets your needs and a plan that leaves you under-resourced for two years.

When choosing an OT, ask to see a (de-identified) sample of their NDIS report writing. Reports that NDIA planners actually use to justify funding tend to share specific characteristics: they describe functional impact in concrete terms (not diagnoses), they tie each support recommendation to a specific functional limitation, they reference standardised assessment tools (Functional Independence Measure, Vineland, AMPS, COPM as appropriate), and they avoid jargon that planners can't operationalise. OTs who only write reports for clinical handover and not for funding contexts often produce documents that don't move the needle at plan review.

For paediatric OT, the focus is typically fine motor skills, sensory processing, handwriting readiness, self-care routines and school participation. Adult OT skews toward workplace adjustments, driving assessments, home modifications and adaptive strategies for progressive conditions. Specialisation matters — ask about caseload composition by age and disability type.

Home visits are usually essential for any environment-related goal (mobility, transfers, kitchen safety, bathroom access). The NDIS price guide ($224.62/hr base rate) caps travel charges; these must be agreed in writing before the visit. For follow-up therapy sessions, telehealth is increasingly accepted and can improve access for regional participants.

What to ask before choosing an NDIS provider

Before signing a service agreement with any NDIS provider, including Therapy Partners, it’s worth having a conversation about a few key things. What are the hourly rates, including loadings for evenings, weekends and public holidays? What cancellation fees apply, and what notice period do they require? Who will your regular support worker or practitioner be, and what happens if they’re sick or on leave? How does the provider handle complaints? These questions are standard — any reputable provider will have clear answers.

If Therapy Partners is registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, they’re bound by the NDIS Code of Conduct and must meet service standards audited by approved quality auditors. This covers everything from worker screening to incident reporting. Unregistered providers can still be used by plan-managed and self-managed participants but aren’t subject to the same oversight.

It’s also worth understanding your service agreement before you sign it. The agreement should clearly state the supports being delivered, the price per hour or unit, any cancellation policy, how travel charges are handled, and how either party can end the agreement. Under the NDIS, you can usually change providers, subject to the notice and cancellation terms in your service agreement. If a provider’s service agreement doesn’t include a reasonable exit clause, that’s worth questioning.

If you’re unsure about any aspect of choosing a provider, your support coordinator or local area coordinator (LAC) can help. They can explain what to look for, accompany you to initial meetings, and assist with setting up service agreements that protect your interests. Keeping records of your interactions with providers — save invoices, note key conversations, and track whether the services delivered match what was agreed — will make plan reviews smoother and provide evidence if you ever need to raise a complaint.
