If you’re navigating the NDIS and wondering what services are available in your local area, you’re not alone. Many participants and their families ask: Does NDIS cover exercise physiology? And if so, what category is physiotherapy under NDIS? At Summit Health Group in Blackburn North, we’re here to guide you through these questions and help you make the most of your plan.
Does NDIS Cover Exercise Physiology?
Yes — the NDIS does cover exercise physiology when it is deemed reasonable and necessary to help you reach your goals. This can include increasing mobility, improving strength, managing a chronic condition, or staying independent at home.
NDIS participants may access exercise physiology under the following support categories:
- Improved Daily Living (Capacity Building)
- Improved Health and Wellbeing (Capacity Building)
Our team at Summit Health Group Blackburn North regularly supports NDIS participants of all ages and abilities — from young adults with neurological conditions to older adults recovering from surgery or managing pain. Whether you’re self-managed or plan-managed, we’ll tailor a program that suits your goals, condition, and lifestyle.

What Category Is Physiotherapy Under NDIS?
Physiotherapy, like exercise physiology, is funded under the Capacity Building stream. It typically falls under:
- Improved Daily Living
- Improved Health and Wellbeing
This allows physiotherapy to be used for managing pain, improving mobility, supporting recovery, or maintaining physical function. For many participants, combining both services provides a complete approach to long-term outcomes.
