NDIS Physiotherapy: Funding, Price Limits and Claims

Under the NDIS, physiotherapy is funded as a therapy support when it relates to the participant's disability and helps them build or keep the ability to do everyday things. The NDIS does not pay for the clinical treatment of health conditions, or for recovery-focused rehab after a recent operation or illness; that is the job of the health system, Medicare included. How you are paid depends on how the participant manages their funding. NDIA-managed supports must come from a registered provider, while plan-managed and self-managed participants can use registered or unregistered providers. Since 24 September 2026, the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27 sets a national maximum of $183.99 an hour for physiotherapy, which applies to NDIA-managed and plan-managed funding but not to self-managed funding.

This guide is for Australian physiotherapists and clinic owners who see NDIS participants, and for participants and families trying to work out what the scheme pays for. It covers the rules in general terms. It is not legal, billing or clinical advice for your own situation. The scheme is changing after new legislation in 2026: the NDIA's pricing page says it will "shortly publish updated pricing and claiming guidance documents", and its participant pages carry a notice that they are being updated. Check the current NDIA and NDIS Commission pages before you rely on a detail here; the reference list shows how old each source is.

What physiotherapy does the NDIS fund?

In the NDIA's words: "Therapy supports can help improve your skills and independence with everyday activities." For physiotherapy, the 2026-27 pricing schedule adds a professional test. Physiotherapy supports are those "delivered by a person who has a current Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency registration as a Physiotherapist."

The NDIA's therapy supports guideline has a section on physiotherapy. It says physiotherapy "can help you build or maintain movement, function and independence." A therapy plan may include evidence-based exercise, manual therapy, functional training, carer education or assistive technology, "as long as it relates to your disability." The guideline adds that physiotherapists also work with participants to prevent loss of mobility and keep them safe from falls or accidents.

The guideline describes two kinds of therapy support. Capacity building therapy supports "aim to build your skills and independence", and the NDIA's therapy page says these supports "have goals and outcomes, and a timeframe for you to work towards." Maintenance therapy helps the participant keep their current functional capacity, which the guideline defines as "the things you can and can't do because of your disability." The NDIA says participants will likely need less capacity building therapy over time as their skills and independence grow.

Family and carers count too. The guideline says the NDIA can fund a therapist to train family members and other informal supports so they can help the participant with everyday activities. Between sessions, a participant may practise with a parent, partner or support worker, and teaching that person is something the NDIA can fund.

What the NDIS does not fund: health care

Section 10 of the NDIS Act says a support is an NDIS support if it is "declared by National Disability Insurance Scheme rules". Based on those rules, the NDIA publishes two lists: supports that are NDIS supports, and supports that are not. The second list has a category headed "Related to health". It excludes "the diagnosis, early intervention and clinical treatment of health and dental health conditions, including ongoing or chronic health conditions."

The same category rules out time-limited, recovery-oriented therapies whose main purpose is treating the person's health, or that follow a recent medical or surgical event, and it names post-acute rehabilitation. Clinical services in public or private hospitals are out too, whether acute or subacute, emergency or outpatient. The therapy supports guideline draws the same line for psychology: support for a mental health diagnosis or treatment "is the responsibility of the health system and not the NDIS."

For physios, that usually means rehab after a new injury, a joint replacement or a recent illness sits with the health system, even when the patient is an NDIS participant. Where the line falls for one person is the NDIA's decision, so read the participant's plan rather than assume. Medicare-funded physio for a long-term condition runs on its own rules (see physio on a GP chronic condition management plan). A participant with extras cover may also be able to claim on their private health insurance.

How participants pay: NDIA-managed, plan-managed or self-managed

NDIS funding can be managed in three ways. Each one changes who pays your invoice, whether you must be registered, and whether the NDIS maximum prices limit what can be paid for your session.

	NDIA-managed	Plan-managed	Self-managed
Who pays the provider	The NDIA, after the provider claims	The plan manager	The participant
Registered provider required	Yes	No, registered or unregistered	No, registered or unregistered
NDIS maximum prices apply	Yes	Yes	No

The registration rules come from the NDIA's page on providers: "You must use registered providers for NDIA-managed supports." Participants "can choose either registered or unregistered providers for other supports if your funding is self-managed or you use a registered plan manager." A plan manager is itself a registered provider. It checks claims against the plan and budget, then pays providers and keeps the records.

Self-managed participants pay you themselves. They either claim from their plan when your invoice arrives and then pay it, or pay you first and claim the money back, through the my NDIS app or portal. The claim asks for your name and ABN, the dates the support started and ended, the support category and amount, and a description of the support. A copy of the receipt or invoice has to be attached. So put all of that on your invoice.

Registered or unregistered: what it means for your clinic

The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (the NDIS Commission) registers and regulates NDIS providers. Registering means an online application with a self-assessment against the NDIS Practice Standards, then a quality audit. The Commission describes two audit types for a new application: a verification audit for lower risk, lower complexity supports, and a certification audit for higher risk or more complex ones. Key personnel are checked for a valid NDIS worker screening clearance.

Unregistered providers "aren't registered with or regulated by the NDIS Commission", in the NDIA's words. They can see plan-managed and self-managed participants but cannot claim for NDIA-managed supports. Registered or not, every provider must follow the NDIS Code of Conduct, covered further down.

Registration does not decide whether the price limits apply. How the participant's funding is managed does.

The NDIA's provider page, current as of 3 June 2026 and so written before the new pricing determination, says unregistered providers "can choose to charge above or below the price limits". Section 45C of the NDIS Act says otherwise for NDIA-managed and plan-managed funding: the maximum amounts apply to any support paid from that funding, the NDIA must not pay more than the maximum, and an NDIS provider "must not charge more than the maximum amount" where the determination applies. The 2025-26 Pricing Arrangements already told plan managers to keep prices within the limits, a rule that "applies regardless of whether the participant purchases the support from a registered or an unregistered provider." So, registered or not, do not charge more than the maximum for a support paid from NDIA-managed or plan-managed funding, which is also the most a plan manager can pay you. Only self-managed funding sits outside the maximum amounts.

Registering is a business decision. It opens your clinic to NDIA-managed participants but brings audits and the Practice Standards, plus worker screening for key personnel. Staying unregistered skips those steps and closes that group off.

How physiotherapy under the NDIS is priced in 2026-27

The Minister for Disability and the National Disability Insurance Scheme made the first pricing determination under the new framework, and the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27 took effect on 24 September 2026. The schedule says the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Act 2026 "establishes a new framework for determining pricing arrangements." Table 28 of the schedule sets these maximum hourly amounts for physiotherapy. The national amount applies in Modified Monash Model areas 1 to 5, apart from some isolated towns the NDIA has reclassified as remote or very remote. Which amount applies depends on where the support is delivered, not where the participant lives.

Physiotherapy item	Support item number	National	Remote	Very remote
Direct service	15_055_0128_1_3	$183.99	$257.59	$275.99
Telehealth	15_055_0128_1_3_TH	$183.99	$257.59	$275.99
Non-face-to-face	15_055_0128_1_3_NF	$183.99	$257.59	$275.99
NDIA requested reports	15_055_0128_1_3_RR	$183.99	$257.59	$275.99
Cancellation	15_055_0128_1_3_CA	$183.99	$257.59	$275.99
Provider travel	15_055_0128_1_3_PT	$92.00	$128.80	$138.00

Table 28 lists the same physiotherapy items under other support numbers too, including employment therapy items at the same prices. Check which number matches the participant's plan before you claim.

These figures are ceilings, not set fees. The explanatory statement to the determination says it "sets maximum rather than prescribed prices", and that "If a claim exceeds the maximum amount, the Agency may refuse the claim or pay only the maximum amount." It also explains that, under section 45C(2) of the Act, the maximum amounts apply only where funding is managed by a registered plan manager or the NDIA. In its own words: "The maximum amounts do not apply to self-managed participants."

The physiotherapy figure did not change this year. The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) reports that the 2026-27 review "maintained the maximum hourly price limit for physiotherapy supports at $183.99", after a cut of $10 an hour in 2025. The APA argues the limit is below the real cost of care, and cites a review by Nous Group that put the 75th percentile market rate at between $215 and $259 an hour. Read that as the APA's advocacy position, not an NDIA figure.

Travel has its own rule. Under the 2025-26 Pricing Arrangements, travel time for therapy supports was capped at 50% of the regular price limit, with up to 30 minutes of travel to and from each participant claimable in Modified Monash Model areas 1 to 3 and up to 60 minutes in areas 4 to 5. The 2026-27 national travel figure of $92.00 is half of $183.99, rounded. Updated claiming guidance is coming from the NDIA; once it is out, read it for the travel conditions.

Service agreements

A written agreement is often optional. The NDIA says: "You aren't required to create a written service agreement, in most cases." It still recommends one each time a participant starts with a new provider. Written agreements are mandatory only for specialist disability accommodation.

For a physio clinic, the agreement matters more than that suggests. Under the 2025-26 Pricing Arrangements, telehealth and non-face-to-face time can be claimed only with the participant's agreement in advance. The same goes for provider travel and for NDIA requested reports. Short notice cancellation terms should also be set out in the service agreement. Put the NDIA's list of what an agreement covers next to the Pricing Arrangements, and a physio agreement would include:

The supports you will provide, where and when, and how they will be delivered.
Your prices and travel costs, and how you will be paid: by the participant, by direct claim on an NDIA-managed plan, or by a plan manager.
Whether you will claim telehealth sessions, non-face-to-face time and NDIA requested reports, and what for.
Your cancellation policy.
How long the agreement runs, when it will be reviewed, and how either side can change or end it.
How the participant can raise a concern or make a complaint.

Two limits apply. The Pricing Arrangements say providers "should not seek to impose conditions on participants through Service Agreements that are not in line with" the pricing arrangements. They also list pre-engagement visits and developing and agreeing a service agreement among the tasks you cannot claim for.

Short notice cancellations under the NDIS

Version 1.1 of the 2025-26 Pricing Arrangements lets a provider claim a short notice cancellation from the participant's plan. For the physiotherapy support items, the document lists the 2 clear business days rule. It covers a participant who gives less than 2 clear business days' notice, or who does not turn up. A separate 7-day rule typically applies to disability support worker (DSW) supports.

You can claim up to 100% of the agreed fee when these conditions are met:

The Pricing Arrangements allow cancellation claims for that support item.
You could not find other billable work for the worker and, unless you are a sole trader or a partnership, you have to pay the worker for the time.
Your short notice cancellation terms are set out in the service agreement.

You may waive the fee. There is no hard limit on how many cancellations can be claimed, but if a participant cancels unusually often, the provider is expected to find out why, and the NDIA monitors cancellation claims.

The 2025-26 document says to claim on the same support item with the cancellation option. The 2026-27 schedule now lists a separate cancellation item (15_055_0128_1_3_CA). New claiming guidance is on the way, the NDIA says. Read it before your next cancellation claim.

For writing the policy itself, telling patients about it and using reminders, read how to set a cancellation and no-show policy.

Reports, goals and non-face-to-face time

Goals drive NDIS therapy. The therapy supports guideline expects an assessment to say how the therapy support "will increase or maintain your independence", and how the participant's other supports (informal, community or mainstream) will help them work towards their goals. Progress reports help the NDIA check progress and decide whether therapy is still needed in the next plan. The guideline lists what they should cover, including "a summary of the supports you're getting" and "any measurable, functional gains you've made since receiving therapy supports."

NDIA requested reports can be claimed on their own item, under three conditions in the 2025-26 Pricing Arrangements. The Pricing Arrangements must allow it, the participant must agree in advance (the service agreement should say so), and the NDIA must have requested the report. The document describes these as reports required at the start of a plan that outline objectives and goals, or at plan review that measure functional outcomes, among others.

Non-face-to-face time has its own conditions. The activity must be part of delivering a specific disability support to that participant, the charge must comply with the Pricing Arrangements and the service agreement, and you must explain the activity to the participant, including why it is the best use of their funds, and have their agreement in advance.

The rest of this section is suggested practice rather than an NDIA rule. Write each goal around an everyday activity the participant names, then measure it the same way at the start and at review. For the wording, see the SMART goals guide. For the measuring, try the outcome measures guide or the Patient-Specific Functional Scale, which scores activities the participant picks. A score that has moved tells a planner more than a note that the participant is "progressing well".

The NDIS Code of Conduct and the NDIS Commission

The Code of Conduct applies to registered and unregistered providers alike, and to their key personnel and workers. The NDIS Commission lists 8 elements. People who deliver NDIS supports must:

Act with respect for individual rights to freedom of expression, self-determination and decision-making in accordance with relevant laws and conventions.
Respect the privacy of people with disability.
Provide supports and services in a safe and competent manner with care and skill.
Act with integrity, honesty and transparency.
Promptly take steps to raise and act on concerns about matters that might have an impact on the quality and safety of supports provided to people with disability.
Take all reasonable steps to prevent and respond to all forms of violence against, exploitation, neglect and abuse of people with disability.
Take all reasonable steps to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct.
Not charge or represent higher prices for the supply of goods for NDIS participants without a reasonable justification.

The last element is about fair pricing. The Commission's page says pricing is fair "when there is no major price difference between the cost of a product or service for a NDIS participant compared to other customers."

Anyone can report a concern about a provider or worker to the NDIS Commission, whether a participant, a family member, another provider or a member of the public. The Commission says that if you feel comfortable, raising it with the provider directly can resolve it quickly. Its number is 1800 035 544 (TTY 133 677), and there is an online form. If someone's life might be at risk, or a person with disability could be critically harmed or seriously injured, call triple zero (000).

Children and the early childhood approach

Younger children follow a different path. The NDIA says "The early childhood approach is for children younger than 9 with delays in their development or disability." Early childhood partners help deliver it, and the NDIA describes early connections that give young children quick access to supports. The therapy supports guideline notes that the way the NDIA funds therapy changes when a child turns 9. The 2026-27 schedule lists early childhood physiotherapy under its own support items (Table 48), at the same maximum amounts as Table 28.

This guide covers the general rules for NDIS physiotherapy. It is not a paediatric clinical protocol. Physios working with young children should read the NDIA's early childhood guideline and work within their own paediatric training.

Home programs between NDIS sessions

A participant sees you for a small part of the week, so the exercises they practise at home, sometimes with a family member or support worker, carry much of the program. Keep the home program short, write the dose clearly, and teach it to whoever helps. The home exercise program guide shows how to choose exercises and how much of each to give. For falls-risk participants, the balance and falls prevention page shows a staged program to adapt.

The therapy supports guideline says the NDIA cannot fund "therapy in a box": therapy kits or at-home programs sold as one-off or ongoing subscriptions, because they are not individually tailored or evidence-based. What it describes instead is a therapist who develops the participant's program and teaches it, then reviews it regularly.

PocketPhysio helps with delivering that program; the tailoring and the reviews stay with you. You pick the exercises from the library and set the reps, sets or hold time for each one, with a cue worded the way you would say it. Each one has a demonstration video and a spoken voice guide, so a participant who struggles with written instructions can listen instead.

The program can reach the participant as an SMS, an email or a link, or through the Pocket Physio Care app on their phone. WhatsApp is another way. At the next session the program you sent last time is still there, ready to review and progress.

For participants and families: a short checklist

Find out how your funding is managed. If it is NDIA-managed, your physio must be a registered provider. You can search for registered providers with the NDIA's Provider Finder, or in the my NDIS portal or app.
Before the first session, ask the clinic its hourly price and whether it will also charge for travel, reports or non-face-to-face time.
Ask for a service agreement and read the cancellation policy before you sign. The NDIS rules let a provider claim a late cancellation from your plan under certain conditions.
Tell your physio what you want to be able to do. NDIS therapy is built around your goals.
If you need physio to recover from an operation, a new injury or a new health problem, talk to your GP. That care usually sits with the health system, not the NDIS.
If you have a concern about a provider, you can raise it with them, or contact the NDIS Commission on 1800 035 544.

Signs that need help before your next NDIS session

NDIS physio is planned support, not the place to take new, sudden or severe symptoms. Where the list below says "call emergency services", ring triple zero (000) in Australia. It is, in healthdirect's words, "the national emergency service phone number." If you have a speech or hearing impairment and use a TTY, the text-based emergency number is 106.

For same-day advice, see a GP or phone healthdirect on 1800 022 222 (NURSE-ON-CALL in Victoria). Registered nurses answer it around the clock. Each sign below is worded exactly as on this site's condition pages.

Emergency: any sign of a stroke, even if it goes away. That means a face that droops on one side, an arm you cannot lift or keep up, slurred or muddled speech, weakness or numbness on one side of your body or face, sudden blurred vision, double vision or loss of sight, trouble swallowing, sudden dizziness with unsteadiness or falling over, a sudden severe headache, or a sudden fall where your legs give way but you do not black out (a drop attack). Call emergency services straight away.
Chest pain or tightness, which may spread to your arm, neck or jaw, or shoulder or arm pain that comes with shortness of breath, sweating or feeling sick. This can be a heart attack. Call emergency services straight away.
Emergency: pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in both legs, numbness or altered feeling around your genitals or bottom, or new trouble peeing or controlling your bladder or bowels. The same applies if you lose feeling in one leg. Call emergency services or go to an emergency department straight away. These can be signs of pressure on the nerves at the base of the spine (cauda equina syndrome).
Emergency: you have had cancer, now or in the past, and your back or neck pain feels like a tight band around your body, or comes with pain spreading down an arm or leg, weakness, numbness or pins and needles in your arms or legs, trouble walking, or trouble controlling your bladder or bowels. Call your cancer team's emergency number straight away, or go to an emergency department if you do not have one or cannot get through. This can be cancer pressing on the spinal cord (metastatic spinal cord compression), which needs treatment straight away.
Emergency: you have had a fall or an injury and now have severe hip pain, or you cannot walk or put weight on the leg. Call emergency services or go to an emergency department. This can be a sign of a broken hip (hip fracture).
A calf or thigh that is newly swollen, warm, tender, red or darker than usual, has swollen veins that are sore to touch, or has a throbbing or cramping pain that does not fit your injury or condition, or that feels different from normal muscle soreness after exercise. This can be a sign of a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis), especially after surgery, an injury, time in a cast or boot, a long trip or a spell of being much less mobile than usual. Get medical advice the same day. If you are also short of breath or have chest pain, call emergency services.

These are not all the warning signs there are. Each condition page adds the signs that belong to its part of the body.

NDIS physiotherapy in brief

Physiotherapy under the NDIS is a therapy support for disability-related function. An Ahpra-registered physiotherapist delivers it, and the participant's goals shape it. Clinical treatment of health conditions and post-acute rehab belong to the health system. NDIA-managed participants must use registered providers, and plan-managed and self-managed participants can use either kind.

The NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, in effect from 24 September 2026, sets a national maximum of $183.99 an hour for physiotherapy, which applies to NDIA-managed and plan-managed funding but not to self-managed funding. Your service agreement should cover prices and cancellation terms, plus any reports or non-face-to-face charges. Follow the Code of Conduct whether you are registered or not. When the NDIA publishes its updated claiming guidance, read it before you claim.

Physiotherapy under the NDIS: funding, price limits and the rules for physios
