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 $224.62 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.

What to ask before choosing an NDIS provider

Before signing a service agreement with any NDIS provider, including Through Life Physiotherapy, 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 Through Life Physiotherapy 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.
