How can NDIS Physiotherapists Help?
Northern Districts Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic are registered with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). We offer physiotherapy care for people with an approved NDIS plan.
NDIS Physiotherapy services help people with a disability to expand their independence within the community and achieve their goals. We individualise our care and offer physio sessions at home or our West Ryde Clinic.
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS is a service that provides personalised support for individuals with a disability. It also offers appropriate support for their families and carers. The NDIS is insurance, meaning people with a disability can access life-changing assistance, without the financial burden.
The Federal and State Governments jointly fund and operate the NDIS to provide access to essential services for people with a disability. There are approximately 4 million Australians with a disability, representing 18% of our population.
The NDIS adopts a whole-of-life approach, providing care and support for the individual’s personal life goals. They also promote economic participation and social inclusion.
How can a Physiotherapist Help a Person with an NDIS Plan?
Physiotherapists are specialised in assisting people of all ages to maintain their health and movement if affected by injury, illness, or disability. They treat a range of conditions and help their patients to improve their quality of life and be more independent. Physiotherapy care can be required for a short-term burst or long term support.
Common physiotherapy treatment can help patients to more easily:
- Take a bath or shower
- Get in and out of bed comfortably
- Move around their environment
- Complete daily jobs and chores
- Manage chronic conditions or pain
- Use equipment like wheelchairs, walking frames, and orthotics.
When working with the NDIS, people are assisted to identify their goals and challenges. A physiotherapist is often a part of this expert team.
