NDIS: Fees and Pricing

For NDIS participants, all services are charged according to the NDIS pricing guide and are subject to change with future updates. The current hourly rates are:

Physiotherapy: $193.99 per hour

Exercise Physiologist: $166.99 per hour

Allied Health Assistant: $86.79 

*For clients undergoing Lokomat training, the cost is $220 per hour. Since the NDIS covers only $193.99 per hour, the remaining difference will need to be paid out of pocket. Thank you for your understanding!

• Initial and Standard Consultation/Appointment: 1.0 hour
• Initial and Standard Consultation with the use of the Lokomat: 2.0 hours
• 45-minute consultation and 15 minutes of practitioner administration time

Practitioner administration time includes:

• Documenting session details and progress toward goals
• Planning for the next appointment

Our Allied Health practitioners are required to keep accurate records of appointments, including therapy approaches or interventions used, outcomes of therapy, and discussions during the appointment. Practitioners also note the NDIS goals worked on and any progress made.

Travel time is charged at the relevant hourly rate for each practitioner and Allied Health Assistant, in line with the NDIS Price Guide. Travel is charged based on the time spent traveling to and from a participant. When traveling to multiple participants, practitioners aim to visit the same area and split travel time evenly among participants.

Duration: 2.0 hours

Up to 100 days before the participant’s NDIS plan end date, practitioners must write a progress report for the participant's plan review with their NDIA planner and Local Area Coordinator.

For a ‘Short Notice Cancellation’ (or no show), PhysioNXT will charge 100% of the agreed fee for the service, from the participant’s NDIS plan, subject to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits and the terms of the service agreement with the participant.

A cancellation is considered ‘Short Notice’ if the participant:

• Does not show up for a scheduled support within a reasonable time, or is not present at the agreed location within a reasonable time when the practitioner arrives.
• Provides less than two (2) clear business days’ notice for a service.

A practitioner may need to:

• Attending care team meetings
• Participating in case conferences
• Consulting with other healthcare professionals
• Reviewing and updating treatment plans
• Documenting session details and progress reports
• Preparing resources and materials for therapy sessions
• Planning and researching interventions to improve client outcomes
• Communicating with clients or their families via phone or email for updates and follow-ups
• Coordinating with schools or workplaces to support client needs
• Completing necessary administrative tasks related to client care

Practitioners will always inform you of NF2F activities before they occur, explain why they represent value for money, and why they are necessary. Non-Face-to-Face Support Provisions are charged hourly, based on the practitioner's normal rate.
