Home Physio Melbourne FAQs
Do I Need a Referral to Book an At-Home Physiotherapist?
No, you don’t need a referral. You can get in touch with us and book directly without a referral.
However, if you are wanting to access care through a Medicare Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM), a GP Care Plan will be required. Read more about using CDM services or give us a call.
How Long is Each Physio Session?
Depending on your treatment needs, sessions typically last 40 minutes to an hour. Your physiotherapist will discuss the duration based on your needs.
Do I Need Any Equipment?
No, our physiotherapists bring all the necessary equipment for your treatment, including portable massage tables and any other tools for exercise. We may recommend certain pieces of equipment for you to acquire if indicated.
If you require any assistive technology, home modifications, or specialised equipment, our physios can recommend equipment.
Is At-Home Physiotherapy Covered By NDIS?
The NDIS budget is divided into three categories: Core Supports, Capital Supports, and Capacity Building Supports. Each category funds different aspects of your care.
Participants often use their Capacity Building funds for at-home physiotherapy. If these funds run out but they still need ongoing treatment, they can access their Core Supports to continue receiving home physio services. Please note, this will be changing in mid 2025.
At Moving Healthcare, we help you navigate these options, ensuring you make the most of your NDIS funding. If you’re unsure how at-home physiotherapy fits into your NDIS budget, feel free to contact us, and we’ll guide you through the process.
