14 providers on the NDIS Commission register delivering therapy services in NSW.
Allied health delivered under the NDIS: occupational therapy, speech pathology, physiotherapy, psychology, dietetics, and early childhood supports. Therapists work out what is getting in the way, work with you on it, and write the reports that often decide what goes into your next plan.
Therapy usually sits under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living. Reports for plan reviews are generally billed against that same budget, so allow for them when you plan your hours for the year.
Allied health waitlists in NSW differ sharply between metropolitan Sydney and regional areas, and the gap is widest in speech pathology and paediatric occupational therapy. Telehealth has become a real option rather than a fallback, particularly for speech and psychology, and it is often the difference between starting this month and starting next year. If you are outside a major centre, raise it yourself rather than waiting to be offered it.
Most allied health professionals are registered with AHPRA but not with the NDIS Commission. The two are completely different things. If you are plan-managed or self-managed you can see them either way. If you are agency-managed, you can only use NDIS-registered providers, which narrows the field a long way.
