If you or a loved one are living with a disability, navigating daily life can be challenging — but the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is here to help. At Melbourne Family Physiotherapy, we’re proud to be part of this transformative system, working closely with individuals, families, and support teams to ensure every participant gets the best care and outcomes possible.
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS is Australia’s national scheme for people with disability. It provides funding to eligible Australians to access supports and services that promote independence, participation, and well-being.
The NDIS is designed to be:
Person-centred: You choose the supports that best suit your goals. Flexible: Services are tailored to your changing needs. Empowering: Focused on helping you build capacity and live more independently.
NDIS funding can cover a wide range of supports — from daily living assistance and therapy services to equipment and home modifications. For many, physiotherapy is a key component in improving mobility, function, and quality of life.
How Melbourne Family Physiotherapy Supports NDIS Participants
At Melbourne Family Physiotherapy, we offer personalised, evidence-based physiotherapy services for children, adolescents, and adults living with a wide range of disabilities. Our team is experienced in supporting NDIS participants across all plan types — whether your funding is self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed.
Here’s how we help:
✅ Tailored Therapy Plans
We start with a thorough assessment to understand your specific needs, goals, and preferences. Then we develop a customised therapy plan focused on improving mobility, reducing pain, and increasing participation in everyday activities.
✅ In-Clinic and Home Visits
We provide flexible appointment options — you can come to our family-friendly clinic in Melbourne, or we can visit your home, school, or community setting (subject to location and availability).
✅ Progress Tracking & Reports
We regularly review your progress and provide clear, professional reports to support your NDIS plan reviews or re-assessments.
✅ Equipment & Assistive Technology Support
Our physios can help assess and recommend mobility aids or equipment (like walkers, orthotics, or seating solutions) and provide supporting documentation to help secure funding.
Working Together for the Best Outcomes
At Melbourne Family Physiotherapy, we know that collaboration is key to getting the best results. That’s why we work closely with:
Support coordinators Plan managers Other allied health professionals (OTs, speech therapists, psychologists) Schools, carers, and families
We communicate clearly and frequently to ensure everyone is aligned with your therapy goals and progress. Whether it’s joining a case meeting, coordinating with your support worker, or contributing to a multidisciplinary plan, we’re here to make the process seamless.
Your Health. Your Goals. Our Support.
