Physiotherapy is one of the best-funded allied health services in Australia — if you know which door to walk through. Here's each door, in plain English.
The main aged-care program (it replaced Home Care Packages in November 2025). Physiotherapy counts as clinical care — fully government-funded within your quarterly budget, with no participant contribution.
We invoice your provider directly. If Mum or Dad had a Home Care Package, they were moved across automatically with a no-worse-off guarantee.
Physiotherapy usually sits under Improved Daily Living. Our fees align with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements, so claims are clean.
We invoice your plan manager directly — you never handle a bill. Progress reports arrive in time for plan reviews.
Same service, same pricing-aligned fees — with simple, claim-ready invoices emailed straight after each session.
Self-managed participants can use any qualified provider, registered or not. That’s exactly the flexibility we’re built for.
No package, no plan, no problem. Many families start privately — often while waiting for a Support at Home budget or NDIS access decision — and switch the funding across when it lands.
Private health extras may rebate part of the fee, depending on your cover.
Because for most of our clients the honest answer to “what does it cost?” is “usually nothing out of pocket” — the fee flows through Support at Home or an NDIS plan, aligned with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. Quoting one number would be misleading for the majority and confusing for everyone.
What we promise instead: the fee for your situation, quoted clearly on the first phone call, before anything is booked. It includes travel, clinical notes, care-team communication and family updates. There are no add-ons, no cancellation traps, and no surprise items on an invoice.
Tell us your situation and we'll tell you which funding door applies, what it covers, and what — if anything — you'd pay. Then you decide.
