Frequently asked questions

How often should I see a physiotherapist under NDIS?
Frequency depends on your goals. Many participants start with weekly sessions for an initial block (6-12 weeks), then transition to fortnightly or monthly for maintenance and program updates.
Can a physio come to my home?
Yes. Many NDIS physiotherapists offer mobile or in-home services. This can be particularly helpful for participants with transport barriers or who need home-based exercise programs.
Is hydrotherapy covered by the NDIS?
Yes, if your physiotherapist recommends it as part of your therapy plan. The NDIS covers the therapy component, though pool entry fees may be a separate cost depending on the facility.
What is the difference between physiotherapy and exercise physiology?
Physiotherapists focus on diagnosing and treating movement disorders with hands-on techniques and exercise. Exercise physiologists specialise in long-term exercise prescription for chronic conditions and disabilities.
