Frequently asked questions
A physiotherapist can help you to use your body within your greatest range of motion and ability. They can work with you if you have an issue with pain or movement.
Yes, the NDIS can cover physiotherapy. It is an allied health service that is funded under the 'Improved Daily Living' category of your ‘Capacity Building’ supports budget.
Some providers will see you in their office, and others might give you the option of doing home visits or telehealth appointments.
No, you generally don’t need a referral. The HeyHubble team can provide you with a few well-matched physiotherapy providers for you to choose from. HeyHubble is also able to work with you to establish your needs and assist in getting a referral, if required, to provide additional NDIS funding for services. HeyHubble will set you up so that you can book an appointment for your first consultation.
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 is important to check that the service you are 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?
A physiotherapy can charge up to $224.62 per hour in Perth 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.
Funding for exercise physiology can come from this budget area in your plan:
- Capacity building – Improved Daily Living
If you have funds allocated to this category as part of your NDIS plan, you can access these allied health support services.

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.
Cerebral palsy is a physical disability mostly affecting muscles and posture. Cerebral palsy is caused by an injury to a baby's brain before, during or shortly after birth. For many people, the exact cause is unknown. It's one of the most common childhood physical disabilities.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to support people whose disability significantly impacts their life (or is likely to significantly impact their life in the future, without early intervention). People living with cerebral palsy are often eligible for the NDIS.
To find out if you are eligible for the NDIS, you can use the NDIS’ Am I Eligible tool.
Cerebral palsy symptoms can vary greatly for different people. As the NDIS provides individualised funding packages, there is no one answer for what can be funded for people with cerebral palsy in general.
Based on your individual situation, things you could get funding for related to cerebral palsy could include: sessions with various allied health therapists, help from a support worker, assistive technology, home modifications or low-cost consumables.
When it comes to NDIS funding, make sure you discuss your needs and goals with your local area coordinator (LAC) or NDIS planner when putting together your first or next NDIS plan.
