What are NDIS therapeutic supports?

The goal of NDIS therapeutic supports is to help you improve your independence and enable participation in daily, practical activities. This covers areas such as language and communication, mobility and movement, personal care, interpersonal interactions, and community living.

As an NDIS participant, most of the therapy supports you require will be included in the Improved Daily Living category of your plan. As the category suggests, these therapeutic supports help to improve your daily living skills.

Therapies covered under the Improved Relationships category assist you with interacting with others whereas the Improved Health & Wellbeing category includes activities that support, maintain, or increase your physical mobility and wellbeing.
