Therapeutic Supports under the NDIS include services delivered by allied health professionals such as Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Psychologists, Physiotherapists, and others. These supports help participants build skills, improve independence, and enhance overall well-being in daily life.
Therapeutic Supports must be delivered by qualified allied health professionals. If your plan is agency-managed, they must also be NDIS-registered providers. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can access both registered and unregistered professionals, provided they have appropriate qualifications and insurance.
NDIS may fund therapies such as:
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Therapy
- Physiotherapy
- Psychology and Counselling
- Behaviour Support
- Exercise Physiology
- Podiatry
- Art Therapy or Music Therapy
- Dietetics and Nutritional Support
The therapy must be related to your disability and help you achieve specific goals in your NDIS plan.
Yes. The NDIS can fund mental health-related therapies if they directly relate to a participant’s psychosocial disability. This may include psychology, counselling, or social work services. The support must be goal-focused and aligned with your functional needs..
Therapeutic Supports can be delivered:
- In your home
- At a clinic or therapy centre
- In the community (e.g., at school or work)
- Via telehealth or online sessions
The mode of delivery should suit your preferences and functional needs.
You need to explain how these supports will help you achieve your NDIS goals during your planning meeting. Supporting documents such as assessments, therapy reports, or letters from health professionals will strengthen your case. The support must meet the “reasonable and necessary” criteria.
Yes. Most Therapeutic Supports are funded under the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living category. This category helps participants develop functional skills through therapies. Some therapy-like supports may be funded under Core if they’re ongoing and essential for daily functioning (e.g., behaviour support interventions).
Absolutely. If you’re self-managed or plan-managed, you can choose any qualified therapist. If your plan is agency-managed, you’ll need to use NDIS-registered providers. It's important to choose a provider who understands your needs and can work collaboratively on your goals.
