Our Commitment to NDIS Participants
At Palms Allied Health, we understand the importance of accessible and high-quality care for everyone, including those supported by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). While we are not an NDIS registered provider, this does not reflect on the quality of care and services we offer.
Who We Can Support:
We are fully equipped to see patients who are Plan Managed or Self Managed. This allows us to provide our exceptional services to a broader range of NDIS participants.
Quality Care Beyond Registration:
Choosing a provider that is not NDIS registered does not mean compromising on care quality. In many cases, non-registered providers, like Palms Allied Health, offer superior and more personalised services. Our team is dedicated to treating every patient with the utmost respect and individualised attention, rather than as just a number in a large corporate system.
We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and supportive environment, ensuring that each of our clients receives the best possible care tailored to their unique needs. Our approach is driven by a genuine passion for helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals, fostering a community where everyone feels valued and cared for.

Compliments and Complaints Form
Complaints Management Procedure
NDIS Information and Transparency Obligations
To ensure compliance with NDIS funding and pricing policies, Palms Physiotherapy & Allied Health requests the following from NDIS participants or their guardians:
NDIS Participant Number
NDIS Plan start and end dates
NDIS Funding details and management type
If Plan Managed, the Plan Manager's contact details
Should any of these details change, clients or their carers are required to inform us so we can maintain accurate reporting, which is necessary for ongoing funding.
Appointment Timing
Our standard appointments are typically 60 minutes (45 minutes of direct therapy and 15 minutes for reporting and planning).
If you arrive late, the session will still end at the scheduled time, and the full session will be charged. Once the appointment concludes, responsibility for the client reverts back to the parent, carer, or guardian present.
By adhering to these clear guidelines, we can provide a safe, efficient, and caring service to all our clients, ensuring that both NDIS participants and private clients receive the support they need to thrive.
