Physiotherapy can play an important role in helping National Disability Insurance Scheme participants stay mobile, manage discomfort, and remain independent at home and in the community.
At Pollinate Health, we support self-managed and plan-managed participants with mild to moderate physical needs. Care is delivered in our Carlton North clinic or in-home across Melbourne’s North and West, with programs tailored to your goals and everyday life.
NDIS physiotherapy supports people living with disability to improve mobility, strength, balance, and overall physical function in line with their individual NDIS goals.
It can assist with maintaining function, building physical capacity, managing pain, and addressing movement limitations to support meaningful participation in daily activities.
As one of the therapeutic supports funded by the NDIS, physiotherapy focuses on enhancing a person’s ability to move and function as independently as possible.
NDIS physiotherapy aims to improve mobility, independence, and quality of life through targeted therapy and rehabilitation, supporting people with disability to engage more confidently in everyday life.
NDIS participants can access a range of allied health supports through their plans, including physiotherapy. Pricing for NDIS physiotherapy is set by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), meaning the hourly rate is consistent across registered providers, regardless of who you choose to see.
As of 1 July 2025, the current NDIS price limit for physiotherapy is $183.99 per hour, with costs deducted from the funds allocated to physiotherapy within a participant’s NDIS plan. Travel and other non‑face‑to‑face supports may be billed separately in line with NDIS pricing rules.
At Pollinate Health, we work collaboratively with you and your broader NDIS team—including support coordinators and plan managers—to ensure your physiotherapy services are well coordinated and that you receive the maximum possible value from your NDIS funding.
Pollinate Health accepts self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. We work closely with participants, families and support coordinators to ensure physiotherapy services align with plan goals and funding arrangements.
Pollinate Health supports NDIS participants whose goals and needs align with our clinic-based and community physiotherapy services.
We assist people experiencing mobility or movement limitations affecting everyday activities such as walking, balance, strength, or endurance.
Our physiotherapists support people with stable neurological or long-term conditions where physiotherapy can improve function and confidence.
This may include participants living with:
Chronic pain and persistent musculoskeletal conditions
Developmental delay or reduced coordination
Mild neurological presentations (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, MS)
Arthritis, osteoporosis, and other chronic health conditions
Rehabilitation following surgery or injury
Ageing-related mobility and balance decline
We do not provide physiotherapy for highly complex or high-support NDIS presentations requiring specialist disability services.
Our NDIS physiotherapy services are delivered in a way that suits your goals, preferences, and everyday routine. After an initial assessment, we develop a structured program that may include hands-on treatment, guided exercise, and strategies to support function and independence. Sessions can be provided in our clinic or through home and community visits, depending on what is most appropriate.
Our Carlton North clinic provides a calm, supportive environment for assessment, hands-on treatment and exercise-based physiotherapy tailored to your goals and abilities.
Where appropriate, we offer NDIS physiotherapy in your home or local community, allowing treatment to reflect real-world movement and daily challenges.
Based on your individual needs as a NDIS client, Pollinate Health qualified physiotherapist can offer you the following physiotherapy services:
All care is guided by current evidence and individual assessment, ensuring treatment is appropriate, targeted and responsive to your needs.
We incorporate strength and rehabilitation exercises when they are indicated and beneficial, without relying on intensive gym-based or machine-led programs.
Our focus is on practical outcomes—helping you move more comfortably, safely and confidently in your day-to-day life.
If you’re looking for NDIS physiotherapy that is practical, respectful, and focused on meaningful progress, our team is here to help. Contact Pollinate Health to discuss whether our services are the right fit.
Before your first session, we’ll confirm your NDIS funding type (self-managed or plan-managed) and, where needed, liaise with your plan manager or support coordinator.
You’ll be asked to complete a short intake form outlining your medical history and goals so we can make the most of your appointment.
During the session, your physiotherapist will discuss your condition in detail, complete a thorough assessment, and begin developing a personalised treatment plan. This may include pain management, rehabilitation exercises, and recommendations for mobility aids or equipment where appropriate.
