What Physiotherapy Services Are Covered by the NDIS? 

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to help Australians living with disability build skills, improve function, and live more independently. One of the key supports funded under many NDIS plans is physiotherapy.

At The Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic Colac, we proudly offer physiotherapy and allied health assistant services to support people with both intellectual and physical disabilities

Our goal is to help you achieve your NDIS goals through evidence-based, personalised care that makes a meaningful difference in your daily life.

NDIS Physiotherapy: What’s Covered?

NDIS participants can access a range of capacity building supports to develop independence and improve everyday function. 

Physiotherapy is often funded under categories like Improved Daily Living or Improved Health and Wellbeing.

We support individuals of all ages with:

  • Intellectual and developmental disabilities
  • Physical disabilities impacting mobility or strength
  • Neurological conditions (e.g. cerebral palsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis)
  • Autism spectrum disorder and related needs

Our Services for NDIS Participants

At The Corio Bay Sports Treatment Clinic Colac, we offer a broad range of therapy services under the NDIS, including:

1. Initial Physiotherapy Assessments

Comprehensive evaluations of movement, strength, balance, and function to establish goals and therapy plans.

2. Goal-Oriented Therapy Plans

Customised programs created by our physiotherapists, aligned with your specific NDIS goals—whether they involve mobility, independence, or daily living activities.

3. Support for Intellectual and Physical Disabilities

Our therapists have experience working with people who may need support with motor skills, body awareness, coordination, or functional independence.

4. Capacity Building Programs

We deliver targeted capacity building therapy to help participants build essential skills for everyday life—whether it’s walking independently, transferring safely, or improving postural control.

5. Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) for Ongoing Support

Our Allied Health Assistants work under the supervision of our physiotherapists to provide safe, structured, and cost-effective therapy sessions. This allows participants to engage in regular, guided practice and skill development at a lower cost—maximising the value of your NDIS funding.

6. Mobility Training and Equipment Advice

We provide training in walking, balance, and transfers as well as assist with prescription and recommendations for mobility aids, orthotics, or home modifications.

7. Clinic, Home, and Community-Based Therapy

Therapy can take place in our Colac clinic, in your home, or at a school or community setting depending on your plan and preferences.
