NDIS Allied Health Services

Practical, goal-focused therapy and support for children, young people and adults with disability.

Quinn Health & Development is a registered NDIS provider. Our clinicians work with you, your family and your support network to build skills, independence and confidence in everyday life.

Services we provide

  • Occupational therapy: daily living skills, sensory needs, fine motor skills, self-care, home and equipment assessments, and independence goals. For children and adults.
  • Speech pathology: speech, language, communication, and feeding and swallowing. For children and adults.
  • Psychology: emotional regulation, anxiety, mental health, coping strategies and life transitions. For children and adults.
  • School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES): help for young people with disability to prepare for work after school, including building work skills and confidence, work experience, resume and interview preparation, and travel training. For NDIS participants in their final year of school or who have recently left school.
  • Behaviour support (BSP): assessment and development of behaviour support plans, with practical strategies for participants, families and support teams. For children and adults.

We deliver services in the home, at school, in the workplace, in the community and at our clinic, depending on what works best for you. [confirm locations and telehealth]

About School Leaver Employment Supports: SLES has to be included in your NDIS plan. If you're in your final year of school, raise employment goals at your planning meeting or plan review so the funding is in place before you leave. Our team can provide a supporting report or recommendation for your plan. SLES does not guarantee a job, but it builds the skills and experience that help young people move into work.

Why choose a registered NDIS provider?

Quinn Health & Development is registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. [registration number and registration groups, if you want to display them]

What registration means

A registered provider has been formally approved by the NDIS Commission and independently audited against the NDIS Practice Standards. This includes ongoing obligations around quality, safety, incident reporting and complaints handling. Registered providers must also meet the NDIS Code of Conduct.

Why it matters for you

  • Independently audited quality and safety: Our services are checked against nationally set standards, so you don't have to take our word for it.
  • Access for every funding type: People with NDIA-managed funding can only use registered providers. We can work with participants whose plans are NDIA-managed, plan-managed or self-managed.
  • Simple billing: For NDIA-managed participants, we claim directly through the NDIS portal, so there are no invoices for you to pay or claim back.
  • Regulated safeguards: Registered providers must report incidents to the NDIS Commission, which gives you an added layer of oversight. Unregistered providers are not subject to the same audits or mandatory incident reporting.
  • Access to specialist supports: Some higher-risk supports, such as specialist behaviour support involving restrictive practices, can only be delivered by registered providers. [confirm against your registration groups]
  • Clear pricing: Registered providers are bound by NDIS price limits for NDIA-managed and plan-managed participants.

Who can access the NDIS?

To join the NDIS you must:

  • be under 65 on the day you apply
  • live in Australia and be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or Protected Special Category Visa holder
  • have a permanent and significant disability that substantially reduces your functional capacity, or meet the early intervention requirements

If you joined the NDIS before turning 65, you can keep receiving NDIS supports after 65.

How to apply

For adults and children aged 9 and over

  1. Check the access requirements on the NDIS website.
  2. Make an access request. Call the NDIS on 1800 800 110 or complete the Access Request Form.
  3. Provide evidence of your disability. Your treating health professional will need to complete section 2 of the Access Request Form or provide other supporting evidence. This can include your GP, specialist or allied health professional.
  4. Receive your access decision. If approved, you'll work with the NDIS on your plan.

For children under 9
Start by contacting a local early childhood partner and describing the developmental concerns you've noticed. They can help your family access early supports and, if needed, apply to the NDIS.

Early Intervention Funding

NDIS Early Childhood Approach
  • Who it’s for: Children under 6 years with developmental delay or under 9 years with a diagnosed disability.
  • Purpose: To provide timely, targeted supports during the critical early years when development is most rapid. The goal is to reduce the impact of delays and build skills for independence.
  • Key Features:
    • No formal diagnosis required for children under 6 with developmental concerns.
    • Supports include therapies (speech, OT, physio), assistive technology, family training, and community inclusion.
    • Delivered through Early Childhood Partners, who help families access local services and create tailored plans.
  • Why important: Early intervention can significantly improve long-term outcomes and reduce reliance on future supports.

Full NDIS Scheme

  • Who it’s for: People aged 9 to 65 (and some younger children transitioning from early intervention) with a permanent and significant disability that substantially reduces functional capacity in areas like mobility, communication, self-care, learning, or social interaction.
  • Purpose: To provide individualised funding for reasonable and necessary supports that help participants achieve goals, increase independence, and participate in community life.
  • Supports funded: Assistive technology, home modifications, personal care, therapy, transport, and capacity-building programs.
  • Access: Requires meeting residency, age, and disability criteria. Participants receive a plan with allocated budgets for different support categories.
