What Is Allied Health in the NDIS?

Allied health services refer to professional therapies that help participants with functional, communication, psychological, or physical needs. Under the NDIS, allied health supports are typically funded under Capacity Building categories, including Improved Daily Living and Improved Health and Wellbeing.

These services are ideal for participants of all ages who require therapeutic support to grow and thrive:

Learn new skills
Improve emotional regulation
Enhance physical function or communication
Build routines for independent living

Our Allied Health Services

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists help participants improve their ability to perform everyday tasks and live as independently as possible.

Examples of support include:

Developing personal care routines (e.g. showering, dressing, grooming)
Home modifications to improve safety and accessibility
Fine motor skill development for tasks like handwriting or using cutlery
Sensory regulation strategies for participants with sensory processing issues
Assistive technology assessments (e.g. grab rails, wheelchairs, modified tools)

Case Example: A teenager with autism struggles with transitions between home and school. Our OT creates a visual transition toolkit and works with the family and school to create consistent strategies that reduce anxiety.

Speech Therapy

Speech pathologists work with participants to improve communication, speech clarity, social skills, and swallowing.

Common services include:

Speech and language development for non-verbal or minimally verbal individuals
Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) systems like Proloquo2Go or PECS
Social communication strategies for group or peer settings
Swallowing and mealtime assessments for participants with feeding issues

Case Example: A young adult with cerebral palsy uses a communication app to express basic needs. Our speech therapist trains both the participant and carers to use the app fluently, improving confidence and reducing frustration.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists support movement, strength, posture, and balance to enhance independence and reduce the risk of injury.

Support may include:

Developing personalised exercise programs
Gait training and walking aid assessments
Post-surgical or post-injury rehabilitation
Balance improvement and fall prevention strategies
Pain management for chronic conditions

Case Example: An adult with multiple sclerosis experiences fatigue and reduced mobility. A physio works with the participant to introduce pacing strategies and gentle resistance training, improving energy levels and function.

Psychology & Counselling

Psychologists provide emotional and behavioural support to help participants understand themselves better and manage challenges in everyday life.

Examples of support:

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety or depression
Support with emotional regulation, stress, and resilience
Strategies for managing social relationships and boundaries
Psychoeducation for carers and families

Case Example: A teenage participant with social anxiety begins sessions with a psychologist and gradually progresses from home-based support to community outings.

Dietitians

Dietitians provide expert advice on nutrition, mealtime planning, and food-related challenges for participants with medical or sensory needs.

Services include:

Meal planning for participants with disabilities or chronic health issues
Support with restrictive diets (e.g. allergies, diabetes, sensory aversions)
Managing underweight or overweight participants
Working with behaviour support teams for food refusal or bingeing

Case Example: A participant with Prader-Willi Syndrome receives support from a dietitian to create portion-controlled meals, helping to stabilise weight and reduce emotional eating triggers.
