Commencing 13 October 2026
Our Occupational Therapy service will help eligible NDIS participants build or maintain functional independence in everyday life. OT support may include functional assessment, daily living skills, home and community participation, assistive technology recommendations and other disability-related functional supports within the therapist’s professional scope and the participant’s funded plan.
What occupational therapy can help with
- Functional assessment
- Daily living skills, such as personal care, meal preparation and managing routines
- Participation at home and in the community
- Assistive technology recommendations
- Other disability-related functional supports within the therapist’s scope and the participant’s funded plan
Who it is for
NDIS participants whose plans include funding for therapy supports, where occupational therapy relates to their disability and funded goals. We support NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants.
How therapy supports are funded
Therapy supports such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech pathology are generally funded from the Capacity Building budget, under Improved Daily Living, and are a stated support in the participant’s plan. They are a different funding category from Core Supports. Therapy must relate to the participant’s disability and funded goals, and is delivered by appropriately qualified allied health professionals.
Core and Therapeutic Supports can work together
Where a participant has appropriate funding for both, Motherly Healthcare can coordinate Core Supports and therapeutic supports around the participant’s goals, while keeping each support aligned with the relevant NDIS funding category and service agreement.
With participant consent, our support workers and allied health professionals can work toward consistent participant goals while maintaining clear professional responsibilities, service agreements and NDIS funding boundaries.
