About this NDIS support item

The NDIS pricing guide for ECI Professional Physiotherapist services outlines the costs associated with receiving direct physiotherapy support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme. This service is designed to assist young children with developmental delays or disabilities, helping them achieve their individual goals.

It is important to note that the pricing may vary based on the specific needs outlined in the participant's NDIS plan. Each participant's goals and required supports will influence the overall costs.

Examples

For example, if a child requires physiotherapy sessions to improve mobility or coordination, the costs associated with these sessions will be determined by the frequency and duration of the services as specified in their NDIS plan.

Participants may also consider how many hours of physiotherapy they need each week, which will affect the total pricing.
