Mobile Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy support for NDIS participants living in Supported Independent Living environments.
We help participants build skills, access appropriate supports and live as independently as possible in their home and community.
The purpose of Supported Independent Living (SIL) is to provide support for NDIS participants to help with daily tasks and develop skills to live as independently as possible.
Total Health Choice primarily works with adult participants over 18 with a physical and/or neurological disability. We service the greater South-East Melbourne community and travel to the participant’s SIL residence.
We communicate our work with NDIS support coordinators, with the overarching objective of improving the healthcare the participant receives and helping the participant achieve optimal outcomes.
Collaborative support
We work with participants, support coordinators and the wider care network to support meaningful functional outcomes.
Total Health Choice offers comprehensive Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy services and is a registered NDIS provider.
We are commonly contacted to provide comprehensive functional assessments, which consider how the participant is being cared for holistically and determine which interventions are reasonable and necessary.
We help with:
The work we perform is written in the NDIS Service Agreement and provided to the NDIS participant at the first meeting.
Our prices for Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy services are in line with NDIS price guidelines. We currently charge at the maximum hourly rate.
It would typically take us 10-15 hours to complete an assessment and detailed written report, although this can vary.
If services are ongoing, we calculate longer-term costs during the initial consultation. One of our values is Trust, so we are transparent with pricing and help our community identify what is economically feasible.
Our primary role is for Occupational Therapists to assist the participant to access funding for equipment, home modifications or ongoing therapy that allows them to live more independently in their home.
For example, if a participant requires a new wheelchair, we may complete a Detailed AT Assessment. This compares multiple equipment options, such as different types of wheelchairs, to identify and justify funding for reasonable and necessary equipment.
The NDIS is thorough when reviewing funding requests. At times, we may receive feedback about our reports and liaise with the NDIS as required.
We also perform full functional reports to assess the person holistically and review all aspects of care.
Reports can include more than 25 recommendations relating to personal care, accommodation, meal preparation and other daily living needs.
SIL support services are provided to participants in their home regardless of property type or ownership agreement.
SIL support services may also take place in individual or shared living arrangements.
Individual living arrangements
Therapy and assessment support tailored to the participant’s own home environment.
Shared living arrangements
Practical support that considers the participant’s routines, environment and support network.
