Physiotherapy built around function, choice and your goals.
Therapeutic supports may help build functional ability, skills and independence when the service is disability-related, consistent with your plan and an NDIS support. We listen first and agree on measurable goals with you.
Your preferences and decisions guide the service.
Therapy should connect to agreed functional goals.
Progress is reviewed using relevant functional measures.
Supports, fees and responsibilities are documented.
Start with the payment pathway
How is your plan managed?
Your plan-management type affects provider choice, invoicing and how claims are processed.
Self-managed
You are responsible for paying providers, claiming from your NDIS funding and keeping appropriate records.
Plan-managed
A registered plan manager pays providers and keeps payment records on your behalf.
NDIA-managed
The NDIA pays registered providers. Contact reception to confirm whether the clinic and chosen clinician can accept this pathway.
Mixed management
Different parts of a plan may use different management methods. Tell us which method applies to physiotherapy.
Funding can only be used for supports that meet NDIS requirements, relate to your disability and are in line with your plan. Physio Cure cannot decide what the NDIA will fund or guarantee payment.

Therapeutic supports
What NDIS physiotherapy may support
The service must be relevant to your disability, goals and plan. Not every assessment, report, item or therapy is automatically claimable.
Mobility and transfers
Strategies and practice for moving safely and participating in daily activities.
Strength and endurance
Individual exercise to build capacity for agreed functional goals.
Balance and falls risk
Assessment and strategies relevant to function and participation.
Assistive technology input
Assessment, trial recommendations or training when within physiotherapy scope and funded.
Home programs
Practical activity and self-management suited to your preferences and environment.
Participation
Work towards meaningful daily, community or recreational activities identified with you.
A physiotherapist may consider a service clinically reasonable, while the NDIA or plan manager may still decide that it cannot be paid from a particular plan or support category.

Frequently asked questions
Before you book
Send your plan-management type and the support you are considering so reception can check the clinic pathway.
Email receptionCan my NDIS plan fund physiotherapy?
It may when physiotherapy is an NDIS support, relates to your disability and is in line with your plan. The NDIA, your plan arrangements and applicable rules determine whether funding can be used.
Do I need a GP referral?
A GP referral is not generally required simply to request private physiotherapy. However, relevant medical information may be needed for safe care, and your plan or other funding arrangement may contain requirements.
Can you accept an NDIA-managed plan?
NDIA-managed participants must use registered providers. Contact reception before booking so the clinic can confirm its current registration and clinician availability for this pathway.
What if my plan is self-managed or plan-managed?
Payment and claiming differ. Self-managed participants generally pay providers and manage claims/records. For plan-managed funding, the plan manager usually receives and processes compliant invoices. Confirm arrangements before treatment.
Will you write an NDIS report?
Reports are prepared only when clinically appropriate, requested or agreed, and when the scope, fee, consent and intended recipient are clear. A report cannot guarantee an access or funding decision.
Can I bring a support person or request adjustments?
Yes. Tell us about communication, mobility, sensory, cultural or other access requirements. You may bring a support person, subject to your preferences and applicable decision-making arrangements.
