FAQs
Common questions about Allied Health
Can I see more than one allied health professional at once?
Yes — many participants work with a small team (for example OT and speech pathology together) where their goals call for it.
Do allied health providers need to be NDIS-registered?
Only if you're NDIA-managed. Self-managed and plan-managed participants have more flexibility to use unregistered allied health professionals as well.
