What therapeutic supports does the NDIS fund?

The NDIS funds a range of therapeutic supports under Registration Group 0128, including occupational therapy, speech pathology, physiotherapy, psychology and counselling, dietetics, and art and music therapy. These are delivered by qualified allied health professionals and tailored to each participant's goals.

What is the difference between therapeutic supports and behaviour support?

Therapeutic supports focus on allied health interventions such as occupational therapy, speech pathology, physiotherapy, and psychology to help participants improve daily living skills, communication, movement, and emotional wellbeing. Behaviour support specifically addresses behaviours of concern through functional assessments and positive behaviour support plans. Both are separate NDIS registration groups.
