Do I Need NDIS to See an OT? Private OT Options in Brisbane

Looking for private occupational therapy in Brisbane? Good Days Health provides mobile and telehealth OT for people aged 9 to 65, including eligible Medicare clients with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan.

If you're not an NDIS participant, you can still access occupational therapy in Brisbane. Good Days Health provides private occupational therapy for adults, teens and young people aged 9 to 65, with in-home, community and telehealth appointments available across Brisbane, Camp Hill, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast and surrounding areas.

Private OT can be a good option when you need support but do not have an NDIS plan, are waiting for funding decisions, want to start therapy sooner, or prefer to self-fund. You do not need a referral to book privately with Good Days Health.

Who can access private occupational therapy?

We work with:

• Self-funded clients who want practical support with daily living, independence, routines, work or study participation, mental health, injury recovery or capacity building.

• Clients with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan who may be eligible for Medicare rebates.

• Families, support coordinators and referrers looking for timely OT input without waiting for NDIS plan approval.

• People who need mobile occupational therapy at home, in the community or by telehealth.

What private OT can help with

Private occupational therapy can support:

• Daily living skills and independence at home.

• Functional capacity, routines and participation.

• Psychosocial and mental health-related functional support.

• Return-to-function planning after injury, illness or life changes.

• Home safety, equipment needs and minor home modification recommendations.

• Ongoing therapy goals for adults, teens and young people.

Private OT vs NDIS OT

The therapy itself is still goal-focused and evidence-based. The difference is how it is funded and how quickly you can start. NDIS-funded OT uses a participant's NDIS plan. Private OT is paid privately, through eligible Medicare rebates, or sometimes through other funding sources. For many people, private OT is the fastest way to get started while longer-term funding is being sorted out.

How to get started

Getting started is simple:

• Contact Good Days Health directly.

• Tell us what support you are looking for.

• We confirm whether private OT is suitable and whether we have capacity.

• We book an initial appointment at home, in the community or by telehealth.
