If you are a self-managed NDIS participant looking for a local physiotherapist in Richmond or South Yarra, our highly experienced clinicians would be the perfect fit. Navigating the NDIS can feel overwhelming at times — especially when it comes to finding quality care through therapists that support your goals, respects your choices, and makes the process simple.

At our Richmond and South Yarra Physiotherapy clinics, we proudly support self-managed and plan-managed NDIS clients, offering personalised physiotherapy that helps you move better, feel stronger, and live more independently — whether you're managing a long-term condition, recovering from injury, or working toward greater mobility and function.

What Is the NDIS, and How Does Physiotherapy Fit In?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the Australian government’s initiative that funds support services for people living with permanent and significant disabilities. The goal is to help participants achieve greater independence, improve their wellbeing, and participate in their community.

Physiotherapy falls under the NDIS support category of “Improved Daily Living” or sometimes “Improved Health and Wellbeing”. Through physiotherapy, NDIS participants can receive evidence-based treatments to:

• Improve mobility and balance

• Manage pain and stiffness

• Build strength and function

• Prevent falls and injury

• Support independence in daily tasks

Whether you have a neurological condition, musculoskeletal limitation, or developmental delay, physiotherapy can help you meet your individual NDIS goals.

What Does It Mean to Be a Self-Managed NDIS Client?

If you are self-managed, you or your nominee are in control of how your NDIS funding is spent. This includes choosing your providers, negotiating rates, and handling payments and receipts.

For physiotherapy, this means you can work with any qualified and experienced practitioner, even if they are not formally registered with the NDIS — so long as they provide invoices that meet NDIS requirements.

At our clinic, we regularly support self-managed NDIS physiotherapy clients in Richmond and South Yarra, making the booking and billing process smooth and transparent. We provide detailed invoices with all required information so you can easily claim your reimbursement from the NDIS portal.

What should you Look for in Your Local NDIS Physiotherapist?

When you're searching for a physiotherapist under your self-managed NDIS plan, it’s important to find a provider who:

• Understands the NDIS and how to align treatment goals with your plan

• Is experienced with your condition (e.g., stroke rehab, balance issues, post-surgical care)

• Can provide NDIS-compliant invoices

• Listens to you and values your independence

• Is available locally, so you don’t have to travel far

Our clinic in Richmond and our satellite location near South Yarra both meet these needs, with friendly physiotherapists who specialise in disability support and rehabilitation.
