Yes, if your NDIS plan includes funding categories like Improved Daily Living or Capacity Building, you are covered for eligible allied health support.

6. Who Is Eligible for NDIS Allied Health Services?
To access allied health services under the NDIS, you must have an approved NDIS plan that includes specific funding for this type of support. Funding categories such as Improved Daily Living or Capacity Building often cover allied health interventions. These services are not one-size-fits-all but rather tailored to the individual goals and requirements outlined in your plan.
Eligibility for these services depends on the goals you’ve established with NDIS. For instance, if your plan includes objectives like improving mobility, enhancing communication, or managing mental health challenges, then allied health supports will be critical to achieving these outcomes.
Parents, caregivers, or guardians of NDIS participants can also work with professionals to select services that best fit the person’s age, abilities, and needs. This collaborative effort ensures everyone involved is on the path to success.
