NDIS Funding Packages and Other Sources
Connect2Care supports a wide range of funding possibilities, including NDIS funding packages, ensuring care is affordable and accessible.
Our Funding sources include:
- NDIS (under Improved Daily Living Category)
We can support clients who are:
– Self-Managed
– Plan Managed
– NDIA Managed
- Medicare
- Private Health Funds
- Self-funded
- Other funding sources
What can NDIS funds be used for?
The NDIS covers Allied Health Therapeutic Support under the NDIS Improved Daily Living Category.
This category is specifically designed to improve an NDIS participant’s capacity building, to achieve their goals of living more independently. These include services and therapy that help people improve their day-to-day lives, build skills, increase muscle tone, function and mobility, help with speech, diet and psychological support.
NDIS within the Improved Daily Living category will help finance an initial assessment for clients and ongoing treatments as required. The support each client receives can look quite different, as it will be individualised to their needs.
Connect2Care is a registered NDIS provider, allowing us to support clients whose funds are self-managed, plan managed, or managed by the NDIA.
We support NDIS participants through our range of therapies and services, including Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy (including hydrotherapy), Exercise Physiology, Dietetics, and Psychology. We support children ranging from newborns to adolescents and adults of all ages.

Other rebates and funding sources
Clients who do not have NDIS funding may be able to claim rebates through their private health extras cover or through Medicare. Rebates can be claimed at our clinics through HICAPS at the time of payment. Each private health fund will have different limits and annual caps for its approved allied health services.
Rebates for some of our therapeutic services may be claimed through specific Medicare plans referred by GPs or paediatricians, including but not limited to:
- Medicare mental health care plan
- Other mental health treatment plans
- Medicare chronic disease management plan
- Other chronic disease management plans
Connect2Care charges a gap fee, so please note that each session will include an out-of-pocket expense.
