Are You Eligible for NDIS Treatment at our Physiotherapist Clinic?

To qualify for NDIS, you must be able to answer "yes" to the following questions:

  • Do you have Australian Residency?
  • Are you under 65 years old?
  • Do you live in an area where NDIS is available?
  • Do you usually need support from a person or equipment to do everyday things for yourself because of an impairment or condition that is most likely to be permanent?
  • Do you need some supports now to reduce your support needs in the future?

Physiotherapist NDIS: Access Request Form

There are four (4) steps in implementing your plan.
If you answered yes to the Eligibility Criteria listed above, you must contact NDIS to receive the NDIS official form – ‘Access Request Form’ (ARF).

You can do so by:

In most cases, you’ll need to provide evidence of your disability. Your Doctor or Specialist will need to complete an ‘Evidence of Disability’ form which you can submit along with your ARF. The Evidence of Disability form tells the NDIS about the level of support you need.

NDIS Planning Meeting

Once your eligibility is approved, you’ll then become a ‘participant’ in the NDIS. Your planner will organise a time to discuss your plan, and this may take place in-person or over the phone.

Your planner wants to know:

  • Your Goals
  • The difficulties that currently prevent you from reaching these goals 
  • How you would like your plan to be managed. NDIS will work with you to decide how to best manage your plan 

Your plan can be managed by:

  • You (Self-managed) – You manage your own funds and pay the service provider and keep your own records
  • Plan management service — You nominate a bookkeeper or accountant to pay your service providers
  • NDIS — NDIS directly pays the service provider on your behalf and managers the money in your plan for you 

Implementing the plan to see a physiotherapist through NDIS

  • Step1

You will receive in the mail a cover letter and then your detailed plan.

  • Step 2

Go online to and create an account at www.my.gov.au. The letter you received in the mail will have all the information required to access ‘myplace’ portal, which you will be using to view your plan

  • Step 3

Speak with the relevant NDIS representative to implement your plan.

  • Step 4

Connect with Service Providers to deliver your supports and complete a Service Agreement. Once you have signed and returned your Service Agreement/s to your chosen providers, then you will start receiving your NDIS funded supports. Your NDIS plan runs for 12 months.
