Allied Health & Therapy Services in Perth
What allied health and therapy services cover
Allied health means therapists who work on function and daily living: occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians, podiatrists and behaviour support practitioners. In Perth, most people reach them through NDIS capacity building supports, though many also see them privately. Sessions can happen in a clinic, at home, at school or in the community.
What to look for
- Registration: check the therapist's AHPRA or professional body registration, and whether the provider is NDIS registered if you are plan-managed or agency-managed.
- Experience with your needs: a paediatric speech pathologist and an adult neuro physio are very different hires.
- Clear goals and reporting: good providers tie sessions to your plan goals and write usable progress reports.
- Logistics: wait times, travel charges, telehealth options and whether you see the same person each time.

Common questions about allied health & therapy services
- How much do allied health services cost for NDIS participants in Perth?
- Therapy is billed under the NDIS Price Guide, which sets a maximum hourly rate for each therapy type. Rates for therapists are roughly in the $190 to $200 per hour range, and travel and report writing can be charged on top if agreed. Private clients without the NDIS often pay a similar or slightly lower amount. Always ask for a written quote.
- How often will I need therapy sessions?
- It depends on the goal. Early intervention for children is often weekly or fortnightly. Adults working on a specific skill may have a block of 6 to 12 sessions, then review. Many providers also set home programs between sessions, so frequency can drop over time.
- What happens at a first appointment?
- Expect an assessment: questions about your history, goals and daily routine, plus some observation or testing. The therapist should explain a proposed plan, how many sessions, and what it will cost. Bring your NDIS plan, any recent reports and a list of your priorities.
- How do I judge whether a therapist is good?
- Check registration, ask how they measure progress, and see whether goals are specific and reviewed regularly. A good therapist explains their reasoning in plain language, involves you and your family, and is willing to refer you elsewhere if another approach suits you better.
