Frequently asked questions
An occupational therapist is an allied health professional who gives advice and helps assess the tools needed for people to gain, increase or maintain independence. These supports will be tailored to suit the person's needs and NDIS goals.
Yes, the NDIS covers occupational therapy. It is an allied health service that is funded under the 'Improved Daily Living’ category of your ‘Capacity Building Supports’ budget in your NDIS plan.
No, you generally don’t need a referral. HeyHubble can connect you with occupational therapists.
An occupational therapist can charge up to $193.99 per hour in metro areas as part of the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. These arrangements govern the maximum price a provider can charge NDIS participants for their services.
They only apply to funding that is agency-managed or plan-managed. If you self-manage your funding, these price limits don't apply to you.
Participants in regional and remote areas will have different price limits. Refer to the most recent NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits to check what price limit applies to you.
Not everyone with NDIS funding can access this support. Generally, you will be able to use your plan to cover allied health supports, but it’s important to check that the service you’re after relates to your NDIS plan and is considered ‘reasonable and necessary’.
If you can answer YES to each of these 6 questions, the NDIS is likely to fund your request.
- Is this a product or service you need due to your disability?
- Does it help you meet your goals?
- Is it reasonable value for money?
- Is there evidence that this product or service is effective?
- Is this something that you wouldn’t be able to receive from your family or the community?
- Is the NDIS the most suitable funding scheme to pay for this support?
Funding for allied health generally comes from the ‘Capacity Building’ - ‘Improved Daily Living’ section of your plan. If you have funds allocated to these categories as part of your NDIS plan, you can access occupational therapy.
There are some key differences between occupational therapists and physiotherapists.. OTs focus on more than physical movement. Their primary focus is to work with you to build everyday skills and increase your capacity to achieve your goals. An example of this might be helping someone gain or regain their ability to independently get ready in the morning or develop job-ready skills. Physiotherapists primarily focus on improving full-body movement, including injury rehabilitation and strengthening larger muscles in the body.
If you have an acquired brain injury, an occupational therapist can help you set and achieve goals related to building a greater capacity to function independently and improve your quality of life. For example, occupational therapists can work on strength and mobility, as well as improving fine motor skills in order to confidently complete everyday tasks such as work, self-care, study and social activities.
