What do NDIS therapeutic supports entail?

NDIS therapeutic supports are an essential aspect of support for many NDIS participants, and are often funded in their plans. These supports are designed to help improve your independence and participation in everyday activities. There are a variety of therapeutic supports available, and they must be provided by qualified service providers.

NDIS therapeutic supports are divided into three categories in your plan: Improved Daily Living, Improved Relationships, and Improved Health & Wellbeing. The Improved Daily Living category covers supports to help with daily living skills, while the Improved Relationships category focuses on helping you interact with others. The Improved Health & Wellbeing category covers activities to support or increase your physical mobility and wellbeing.

Below outlines some common NDIS therapeutic supports and their corresponding prices according to the NDIS Therapeutic Supports Price Guide for the 2019-20 period.

In addition to the supports listed above, other common NDIS therapeutic supports include occupational therapy, behavior support, and speech therapy. Occupational therapy can help with developing functional skills to improve participation and independence, while behavior support is designed to help achieve mental health, behavior, and relationship goals. Speech therapy can assist with communication and swallowing.

Some of the most common NDIS therapeutic supports include employment-related counseling, dietetics, exercise physiology, personal training, psychology for early childhood interventions, occupational therapy, behavior support, and speech therapy. Each support has a different price, which is set by the National Disability Insurance Agency and reviewed annually.
