Does the NDIS cover physiotherapy?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can cover physiotherapy services. This is in recognition of the fact that physiotherapy focuses on supporting people with disability to be able to move and function better, making a significant positive difference to their lives.
Where does physio funding fit in my NDIS plan? It can come under ‘capacity building’ or ‘core’ support but must assist participants to meet their NDIS goals.
Importantly, NDIS physiotherapy services, such as assessments, must be provided by a NDIS approved physiotherapist if your plan is managed by an agency or the NDIS. LifeLift’s person-centred, compassionate physiotherapists are NDIS and AHPRA registered.

What will a NDIS physio do?
There are different ways to approach physiotherapy and LifeLift’s mobile physio services create a treatment plan just for you.
Initially, our physios undertake a NDIS physiotherapy assessment. This critical assessment helps determine your specific needs and goals, and how the physio will help you achieve these, factoring in your disability. It involves identifying areas to improve so you enjoy better body movement and function and avoid injury.
LifeLift’s caring physiotherapists may also:
- Devise and update treatment plans ie. home exercise programs, hydrotherapy and dry needling
- Recommend physio equipment and mobility aids
- Create pain management plans
- Provide advice on managing disabilities / health conditions
- Write physio progress reports
What is a NDIS physiotherapy service agreement?
At your initial NDIS funded physio appointment, our physiotherapist will work with you to create a service agreement for both of you to sign.
This agreement outlines what you’d like to achieve through physio treatment and is a plan for how to do this, as guided by your NDIS approved physiotherapist. It also details how many treatments are recommended and the costs.
