18 providers on the NDIS Commission register delivering therapy services in QLD.
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 availability drops off sharply outside south-east Queensland, and in the far north the shortage is bad enough that telehealth is often the only realistic route to consistent therapy. Remote and very remote loadings apply to in-person visits across much of the state, which changes the economics of a therapist travelling to you. Ask what a year of therapy actually looks like where you live before you commit your budget to 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.
