If you or someone you support has a disability and struggles to get to a clinic, NDIS physiotherapy in Sydney can come to you.

Whether you are plan managed, self managed or agency managed, your NDIS plan may fund physiotherapy as a reasonable and necessary support. Here is what you need to know.
How Does NDIS Fund Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy falls under the Capacity Building – Daily Activities support category in your NDIS plan. To be funded, it must meet the reasonable and necessary criteria – meaning it must be directly linked to your disability and your functional goals.
NDIS physiotherapy can be accessed whether you are:
- Plan managed (a plan manager pays the provider)
- Self managed (you pay and claim reimbursement)
- Agency managed (the NDIA pays registered providers directly)
Only NDIS registered providers can work with agency managed participants. Visit our NDIS services page to learn more about how Healthproof works with all management types.

What the Evidence Says
The case for home-based physiotherapy is well supported by research. A study by (Shori et al., 2018) found that home-based physiotherapy resulted in a 52% improvement in pain scores and a 43% reduction in disability measures compared to baseline. For NDIS participants who face barriers to accessing clinic-based care, home delivery is not just more convenient – the evidence suggests it is more effective.
