Understanding how NDIS physiotherapy Australia works can be confusing for participants and their families. At Family Physio, we aim to make things easier. This guide clearly explains eligibility, the services covered, and how to access physiotherapy support through your NDIS plan.
📄 Understanding Physiotherapy and the NDIS
NDIS physiotherapy refers to therapy services that help participants improve mobility, strength, balance, and independence. Physiotherapists may assist with:
- Neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, cerebral palsy)
- Developmental delays and autism
- Musculoskeletal issues
- Falls prevention and mobility aids
Typically, these services are funded under the Capacity Building or Core Supports categories in an NDIS plan. If you’re unsure whether NDIS physiotherapy Australia covers your condition, we can help clarify it.
Moreover, physiotherapy often involves goal-setting, collaboration with occupational therapists, or strategies to manage chronic pain. As a result, this holistic approach ensures that participants have the best chance to live with greater independence and confidence.
✅ Eligibility Criteria for NDIS Support
To access physiotherapy through the NDIS, a participant must:
- Be approved for an NDIS plan
- Have goals related to mobility, independence, or physical wellbeing
- Require physiotherapy that is considered reasonable and necessary
Not sure if you qualify? Then it’s best to speak with your Support Coordinator or NDIS planner for advice.
Participants can also ask their GP or allied health team to recommend assessments or reports. These documents help justify the inclusion of physiotherapy support in the plan and ensure funding is secured for essential services.
💼 How to Start Accessing Your Physiotherapy Services
To begin, follow these simple steps:
- Review your NDIS plan for funding under Core or Capacity Building.
- Contact Family Physio to arrange a tailored service agreement.
- Our team works directly with your Plan Manager or Support Coordinator to coordinate the process.

We’re here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed, we’ll ensure the experience is simple and stress-free.
