Therapy is usually paid from your Capacity Building budget, under Improved Daily Living. The NDIS sets an hourly price limit for each type of therapy, and it applies to time spent on assessments, sessions and writing reports. Therapists can usually also claim some travel time to come to you. Since 1 July 2025, the NDIS has used one national price limit for physiotherapy, which is lower than the previous limits across Australia. Check the current figure in the official price guide. Every provider on Solotude shows their rate on their profile, so you know the cost before you message them.
