NDIS Occupational Therapy, Built Around Your Plan
As a registered NDIS provider, Connect Allied Health supports participants and families to make the most of their occupational therapy funding, whichever way your plan is managed. We know navigating the NDIS can feel overwhelming, so our team takes the time to explain what’s possible under your plan and what support actually looks like day to day.
Children
Does your child struggle with tying their shoelaces or self-feeding? Occupational therapy helps develop fine motor skills, sensory stimulation, and independence. From difficulty with self-care to challenges in social interaction, our therapy services support growth and confidence.
Older Adults
Aging shouldn’t mean losing independence. Our occupational therapists recommend home modifications, assistive technologies, and strategies to support daily living. Whether it’s reducing fall risks or improving motor skills, we’re here to keep you active and safe.
People with Disabilities
At Connect Allied Health, we support those with disabilities by helping them manage sensory input and build skills for everyday tasks. Whether they have autism, cerebral palsy, or physical limitations, we provide occupational therapy services that empower them.
People Recovering from Injuries
Recover faster, live better. Whether it’s a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or broken bones, Connect Allied Health occupational therapy helps restore mobility and independence. We’ve come through for thousands in Adelaide. With functional capacity assessment and personalised plans, we help rebuild your life step by step with tailored interventions.
Understanding the Cost of NDIS Occupational Therapy
NDIS occupational therapy is charged at the NDIS hourly rate, currently around $193.99 per hour, with a comprehensive functional capacity assessment typically ranging from $700 to $2,000 depending on complexity. Your Connect Allied Health team will always be upfront about costs before any assessment or ongoing support begins.
At Connect Allied Health, we focus on empowering seniors– physically challenged and working-class adults – to regain control and live life fully across South Australia. Let’s take the next step together.
Autism-Affirming, Individualised Support
Our team provides neurodiversity-affirming occupational therapy support for autistic participants and their families, covering areas like self-care skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation and social participation. Every plan is built around the individual, not a standard template, because what works for one participant rarely works the same way for another.
Plan-Managed, Self-Managed or Agency-Managed, We Work With All Three
Whether your NDIS plan is agency-managed, plan-managed or self-managed, our team can work within your funding arrangement. If you’re not sure which category your supporters fall under, or how to get started, get in touch and we’ll walk you through it.
