How to Access Therapy Through Your NDIS Plan or Home Care Package

Accessing therapy services such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and allied health support can make a meaningful difference to your wellbeing, mobility, and independence. But understanding how to use your NDIS plan or Home Care Package to fund these services can be overwhelming. At EnableU, we simplify this process for clients across Canterbury Bankstown, Inner West, Burwood, and Strathfield.

This guide explains how therapy is funded, how to get started, and how EnableU supports you every step of the way.

Accessing Therapy Through the NDIS

If you’re an NDIS participant, your therapy services may be funded under these budget categories:

• Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living (for ongoing OT, physio, assessments)



• Core Supports (in some cases, where therapeutic support overlaps with daily care)



• Capital – Assistive Technology (for equipment recommendations from therapists)

What You Need:

• A current NDIS plan (self-, plan-, or agency-managed)



• Goals that include improving independence, mobility, or health



• A referral or service agreement with an NDIS-registered provider

EnableU’s therapy team can work with your support coordinator or plan manager to set up services and make sure they’re delivered within your plan budget.

Accessing Therapy Through a Home Care Package

For seniors on Home Care Packages (Levels 1–4), allied health services are a crucial part of staying safe, strong, and independent. You can use your package to:

• Receive occupational therapy assessments for home safety and modifications



• Engage physiotherapy sessions for mobility and falls prevention



• Participate in reablement programs to recover from illness or hospitalisation

Steps to Access Therapy:

1. Discuss your needs with your case manager or My Aged Care provider



2. Request allied health services as part of your care plan



3. Have your case manager approve funding for therapy with EnableU
