Therapeutic Supports

NDIS therapeutic supports in Adelaide

Therapy that changes what happens on a Tuesday morning.

Therapeutic Supports is National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding for allied health that builds function and independence — physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychology and related disciplines. Complete Choice doesn't employ therapists. We arrange therapy through other providers and, with your consent, make sure your therapist's recommendations become part of your daily support.

How does it work with us?

We don’t employ therapists. We arrange therapy for you through other providers — whichever kind you need, such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy or speech pathology. You choose, and the therapy is delivered by that provider. With your consent, we then make sure their recommendations reach the workers who support you each day.

How does therapy reach your daily support?

A recommendation only works if it changes what actually happens. With your consent, your therapist’s recommendations are shared with us and written into your support plan, so the workers who support you each day follow them. If something isn’t working, we tell your therapist.

What don’t we provide?

We don’t deliver therapy ourselves. It comes from the therapist’s own provider, and you choose who that is. We also don’t employ therapists, so we won’t steer you towards our own staff. Everything Complete Choice is registered for, and what it isn’t, is listed on our NDIS registration page.

Everything we’re registered for

How does it start?

It starts with a phone call to our office. You tell us what you need, or what you're not sure about. Then we look at your plan and funding, meet you, and agree in writing what your support looks like. Support begins after that, with review dates built in so it keeps fitting your life.

    With review dates built in, so it keeps fitting as your life changes.

Questions people ask

What are therapeutic supports?

Therapeutic supports are NDIS-funded allied health, such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology and psychology, that builds or maintains your skills and independence in everyday activities. Only qualified allied health professionals can deliver them, and they must be evidence-based. Complete Choice doesn't employ therapists: we arrange therapy through other providers and help it reach your daily support.

Which funding pays for therapeutic supports?

Your Capacity Building budget pays for them, usually under the Improved Daily Living category. Therapy funding is a stated support, so it's for therapy and can't be swapped for something else. You'll also need evidence from your allied health professional that the therapy is right for you. If you're unsure what your plan includes, ask your Support Coordinator or my NDIS contact.

Do you employ therapists?

No. Complete Choice doesn't employ therapists. We arrange therapy through other providers, based on what you need, and you choose. The therapist's own provider delivers the therapy. With your consent, their recommendations are shared with us and written into your support plan, so the workers who support you each day follow them.

Can I choose my own therapist?

Yes. You choose the therapist and their provider, and the therapy is delivered by that provider, not by Complete Choice. We can arrange it for you if you'd like, based on what you need. With your consent, your therapist's recommendations are shared with us and written into your support plan, so your daily support follows them.
