Connecting participants with the right allied health professionals is part of what our Care Navigators do. Where it’s funded in your plan, NDIS Support Coordination helps you find practitioners who suit your goals, arrange referrals, and keep therapy working with the rest of your plan. You choose who you work with.
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:
Occupational therapists help participants improve their ability to perform everyday tasks and live as independently as possible.
Examples of support include:
Case Example: A teenager with autism struggles with transitions between home and school. An occupational therapist might create a visual transition toolkit and works with the family and school to create consistent strategies that reduce anxiety.
Speech pathologists work with participants to improve communication, speech clarity, social skills, and swallowing.
Common services include:
Case Example: A young adult with cerebral palsy uses a communication app to express basic needs. A speech pathologist can train both the participant and carers to use the app fluently, improving confidence and reducing frustration.
Physiotherapists support movement, strength, posture, and balance to enhance independence and reduce the risk of injury.
Support may include:
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.
Counselling is provided in-house by our psychosocial recovery counsellor. Where a psychologist is the right fit, we can connect participants with one.
Psychologists provide emotional and behavioural support to help participants understand themselves better and manage challenges in everyday life.
Examples of support:
Case Example: A teenage participant with social anxiety begins sessions with a psychologist and gradually progresses from home-based support to community outings.
Dietitians provide expert advice on nutrition, mealtime planning, and food-related challenges for participants with medical or sensory needs.
Services include:
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.
