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 Geelong.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
How Therapeutic Supports Works with Other Supports
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 Geelong and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Geelong 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.
