What Therapeutic Supports Covers

The Therapeutic Supports registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

Occupational Therapy

Functional assessments, home modification recommendations, assistive technology prescription, daily living skill building, sensory processing interventions. OTs are often the first referral for new participants because their assessments inform other service needs.

Physiotherapy

Mobility and strength programs, pain management, respiratory physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, post-surgical rehabilitation, falls prevention. Critical for participants with physical disabilities, neurological conditions, or age-related decline.

Psychology

Cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma-informed care, anxiety and depression management, diagnostic assessments (ASD, ADHD), capacity building for emotional regulation. Funded at a higher rate ($232.99/hr) than other therapies.

Speech Pathology

Communication assessments, AAC device setup and training, swallowing assessments, social communication programs, literacy support. Essential for participants with communication disorders, ASD, or acquired brain injury.

Counselling

Mental health support, grief counselling, relationship skills, behavioural support for mild to moderate presentations. Lower rate than psychology ($156.16/hr) but can be appropriate for participants who do not need a psychologist.

Exercise Physiology

Structured exercise programs, chronic disease management through exercise, gym-based rehabilitation, group fitness adapted for disability. Good for participants whose goals include physical health and community participation.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for therapeutic supports in Brisbane City.

1.

A new participant with ASD needs a functional capacity assessment to inform their plan review. Refer to an OT with ASD experience who can document current functioning and recommend supports.

2.

A participant with an intellectual disability is experiencing increased anxiety that is affecting their daily living skills. Refer to a psychologist who works with intellectual disability, not a general practice psychologist.

3.

A participant recovering from a spinal cord injury needs intensive physiotherapy to maximise mobility gains during the critical first 12 months. Refer to a neuro-physiotherapy specialist.

4.

A child participant needs speech pathology for an AAC device trial. Refer to a speech pathologist with AAC specialisation who can conduct the trial and write the AT justification report.

5.

A participant's behaviour support plan recommends regular counselling to build emotional regulation skills. Refer to a counsellor experienced with the participant's disability type, not a generic mental health counsellor.

What to Expect After Referral

After referral, most therapists conduct an initial assessment (1-2 sessions) before beginning regular therapy. Assessment reports typically take 2-4 weeks. Ongoing therapy sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly, with progress reviews every 8-12 weeks. Request that the therapist provides you with regular written updates, not just verbal feedback, so you have documentation for plan reviews.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a therapeutic supports provider may not be delivering quality services.

Provider scheduling weekly sessions without a clear therapy plan or goals

No written assessment or progress reports after the first month

Billing for cancelled sessions without following the NDIS cancellation policy

Therapist not communicating with other providers involved in the participant's care

Charging for report writing as separate sessions without prior agreement

Refusing to provide a copy of assessments or reports to the participant or coordinator

Therapeutic Supports often works alongside Assistive Technology (for equipment recommendations from OTs and speech pathologists), Capacity Building (for skill development goals), and Behaviour Support (where therapy addresses underlying causes of challenging behaviour). When referring for therapy, check if the participant also needs AT assessments, as many therapists can conduct both under the same appointment.

Referral Tips for Therapeutic Supports

When referring a participant for therapeutic supports, check that the provider is registered under the correct registration group and that the participant has funding in their Improved Daily Living or Capacity Building budget. Request a written quote for assessment and ongoing therapy before committing plan funds.

What to Check Before Making a Referral

Registration Status

Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for therapeutic supports. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.

Service Area

Confirm the provider services Brisbane City and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Brisbane South & Logan region.

Availability and Waitlists

Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.

Cultural and Language Needs

Match the participant's cultural background and language preferences where possible. Ask providers about staff diversity and interpreter availability.

Cancellation Policy

Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.

Reporting and Communication

Agree on how the provider will report progress to you. Regular updates make your own progress reports and plan review preparation much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What registration group do therapists need to deliver NDIS services in Brisbane City?
Therapists delivering NDIS services must be registered under the Therapeutic Supports registration group.

Common line items include 15_055 for physiotherapy, 15_617 for occupational therapy, 15_054 for psychology, and 15_622 for speech pathology. Rates are capped at $193.99/hour for most therapists and $232.99/hour for psychologists under the 2025-26 NDIS Price Guide.
Can I refer an agency-managed participant to an unregistered therapist?
No. Agency-managed participants can only use registered NDIS providers. If the participant is plan-managed or self-managed, they can use unregistered providers. Check the participant's plan management type before making a referral.
Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?
No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. If the participant is plan-managed or self-managed, they can use both registered and unregistered providers. Check the participant's plan management type before making a referral.
What should I do if there are no available providers in Brisbane City?

How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?
Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. The register shows current registration status, registration groups, and any conditions on registration. Providers listed on Carevo display their NDIS registration status on their profile.
What information should I include when making a referral?
Include the participant's name (with consent), their NDIS plan number, the relevant line items and budget available, the service frequency needed, any specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details as the referring coordinator. The more detail you provide, the faster the provider can assess whether they can accept the referral.
