What people with Amputation in Drewvale usually need help with
Amputation involves the surgical or traumatic removal of a limb or part of a limb, which can significantly affect mobility, daily function, and wellbeing. NDIS participants with limb loss can access prosthetic assessment, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and personal care to rebuild independence and confidence. Psychological support is also an important part of adapting to limb loss, particularly in the period after amputation.
For physical and mobility conditions, the best starting point is usually identifying the main needs (therapy, personal care, equipment, home mods), then comparing local providers whose staff have the right manual handling training and condition-specific experience.
What people usually compare locally
- • Whether support workers are trained in safe transfers, hoists, and mobility equipment
- • Access to local physiotherapy, OT, and assistive technology assessment services
- • Morning and evening routine availability and staff reliability in the area
- • Experience with the specific physical condition, not just general physical support

Understanding Amputation and Limb Loss
Amputation and limb loss affect thousands of Australians, with causes including trauma (accidents, injuries), vascular disease (often related to diabetes), cancer, and congenital limb deficiency. The most common amputations are below-knee and above-knee, though upper limb amputation and multiple limb loss also occur. The functional impact depends on the level and number of amputations, the person's age and overall health, and whether a prosthesis can be fitted and used effectively. Beyond the physical changes, limb loss often involves significant psychological adjustment, including grief, phantom limb pain, body image challenges, and identity shifts. With the right prosthetic, rehabilitation, and support, many amputees return to work, sport, and full community participation. The NDIS funds prosthetics, physiotherapy, psychology, and practical support for people whose amputation causes significant and permanent functional impairment.
How amputation affects daily life
Limb loss changes how a person moves, balances, carries objects, drives, and performs daily tasks. Lower limb amputation affects walking, standing, and balance. Upper limb amputation affects grip, carrying, dressing, cooking, and typing. Phantom limb pain (pain felt in the missing limb) is common and can be severe. Stump care requires daily attention to prevent skin breakdown and infection. Energy expenditure for walking with a prosthesis is significantly higher than normal walking, which causes fatigue. Prosthetic fitting and adjustment is an ongoing process, not a one-off event. Many amputees also manage the underlying condition that caused the amputation, such as diabetes or vascular disease.
What to look for in a provider
Good limb loss providers combine physical rehabilitation with psychological support and practical daily living training. Ask whether their physiotherapists have prosthetic rehabilitation experience, whether they work with a prosthetist, and how they address phantom pain. Red flags include providers who focus only on the physical aspects without addressing grief, body image, and mental health, or who have no experience with prosthetic training. Peer support from other amputees is also highly valuable and worth asking about. Providers who coordinate with prosthetists and rehabilitation physicians tend to deliver better outcomes than those working in isolation.
How to access funding
Amputation is on the NDIS List A (for congenital limb deficiency) or List B (for acquired amputation requiring evidence of permanent and significant functional impairment). A surgeon, rehabilitation physician, or GP can provide diagnostic evidence. Prosthetics are funded through the NDIS under Capital - Assistive Technology, but the cost varies enormously depending on the type and technology level of the prosthesis. Plans are reviewed annually, and prosthetic replacement cycles (typically every 3-5 years for adults) should be factored into long-term planning.

Plan size depends on the level and number of amputations, prosthetic costs, whether ongoing physiotherapy and psychology are needed, and the extent of daily living support required. High-tech prosthetics (myoelectric arms, microprocessor knees) significantly increase plan costs.
Prosthetic legs range from $5,000 (basic) to $80,000+ (microprocessor knee). Prosthetic arms range from $5,000 to $100,000+ (myoelectric). Allied health sessions cost $193-$234/hr. Prosthetic maintenance and socket replacements add ongoing costs.
Figures are indicative and based on the current NDIS Price Guide and published Home Care Package rates. Actual costs depend on your plan, provider, and location.
