We can help you connect with occupational therapists
Occupational therapy (OT) helps people with neurological disabilities develop new skills for everyday life and can work with you to improve your communication, mobility and relationships. Occupational therapists can also make sure that any written reports, supporting letters and functional assessments are completed in line with NDIS guidelines. Our friendly team will connect you with occupational therapists in your local area who can create programs that are tailored to your needs.
Covered by the NDIS
Occupational therapy can be funded by the NDIS. You can access occupational therapy if you have the funding category ‘Improved Daily Living’ under the ‘Capacity Building’ budget in your plan. HeyHubble can help you find trusted providers that offer occupational therapy in your area.
How occupational therapy can help people with neurological disabilities
It is important for all people to live a fulfilling and meaningful life and achieve their goals. Having a sense of independence and choice and control over how we live is a big part of this. Occupational therapists will work closely with you to help you maximise your independence and work through any barriers you might face.
An occupational therapist can help support people with neurological disabilities by:
- Building your capacity and increasing your independence in everyday tasks like showering, dressing and meal preparation
- Creating therapy programs dedicated to improving your fine motor skills
- Improving important cognitive skills around planning, focusing and executing tasks
- Introducing you to tools and resources that can assist with emotional regulation and support positive behaviour
- Supporting you in developing the skills necessary to gain or maintain meaningful relationships
- Completing necessary documentation, like support letters or functional assessments
- Increasing your ability to engage with school and work requirements
- Completing home assessments and providing recommendations for required home modifications

Frequently asked questions
An occupational therapist is an allied health professional who gives advice and helps assess the tools needed for people to gain, increase or maintain independence. These supports will be tailored to suit the person's needs and NDIS goals.
Yes, the NDIS covers occupational therapy. It is an allied health service that is funded under the 'Improved Daily Living’ category of your ‘Capacity Building Supports’ budget in your NDIS plan.
No, you generally don’t need a referral. HeyHubble can connect you with occupational therapists.
An occupational therapist can charge up to $193.99 per hour in metro areas as part of the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. These arrangements govern the maximum price a provider can charge NDIS participants for their services.
They only apply to funding that is agency-managed or plan-managed. If you self-manage your funding, these price limits don't apply to you.
Participants in regional and remote areas will have different price limits. Refer to the most recent NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits to check what price limit applies to you.
Not everyone with NDIS funding can access this support. Generally, you will be able to use your plan to cover allied health supports, but it’s important to check that the service you’re after relates to your NDIS plan and is considered ‘reasonable and necessary’.
If you can answer YES to each of these 6 questions, the NDIS is likely to fund your request.
- Is this a product or service you need due to your disability?
- Does it help you meet your goals?
- Is it reasonable value for money?
- Is there evidence that this product or service is effective?
- Is this something that you wouldn’t be able to receive from your family or the community?
- Is the NDIS the most suitable funding scheme to pay for this support?
Funding for allied health generally comes from the ‘Capacity Building’ - ‘Improved Daily Living’ section of your plan. If you have funds allocated to these categories as part of your NDIS plan, you can access occupational therapy.
There are some key differences between occupational therapists and physiotherapists.. OTs focus on more than physical movement. Their primary focus is to work with you to build everyday skills and increase your capacity to achieve your goals. An example of this might be helping someone gain or regain their ability to independently get ready in the morning or develop job-ready skills. Physiotherapists primarily focus on improving full-body movement, including injury rehabilitation and strengthening larger muscles in the body.
Neurological disabilities impact the brain as well as the nerves throughout the body and spinal cord. There are a wide range of neurological disabilities, including epilepsy, learning disabilities, neuromuscular disorders, autism, ADD, brain tumours and cerebral palsy.
Examples of neurological disabilities include:
- Brain cancer
- Cerebral palsy
- Dementia
- Epilepsy
- Motor neurone disease
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson’s disease
- Spinal conditions
- Spinal muscular atrophy
- Stroke
- Tourette syndrome
- Traumatic brain injury
The NDIS can cover a range of support services for people with neurological disabilities, including mental health services, physical or occupational therapy, nutritional services, communication skills and exercise physiotherapy.
