Websites for allied health practices that see NDIS clients

You write reports, run waitlists and answer to a professional board. Your site has to work for referrers as well as for parents.

A practice, not a trade

An allied health site is read by four people. A parent searching for a speech pathologist for a four year old. An adult managing their own plan. A support coordinator looking for a clinician who can take a referral. A school or GP. Each needs something different on the same first screen, and the practice manager who runs intake wants all four to arrive with the right information.

The pages that do the work

Clinician pages come first. Each lists the clinician's name, qualification, registration body and the services they see. For AHPRA-regulated professions the registration number is a useful trust marker and carries no advertising risk. Service pages follow, one per therapy and per age group, in plain words about what an assessment involves and how a session is run.

A location page needs a real address, real opening hours and the clinicians who work there. Telehealth is stated where it is true and is not a substitute for an address. Templated pages that swap the town name are the weakness in this market, and a practice with real local detail is not up against the same field.

Referral intake

A coordinator or GP wants the answer to three questions in one glance: do you take this kind of referral, what is the wait, and who do I send it to. The referral page answers all three with a named contact, the current wait stated honestly and a short form. A participant or parent form asks for a name, a phone or an email, and a comment. Diagnosis, NDIS number and plan dates are collected after contact, because a web form is a poor place for health information.

The wait is the item practices least like to publish, and it is the item referrers check first. A line that says four to six weeks is checked against the phone call that follows.

Funding in plain words

The funding explainer says which kinds of plan budget therapy usually comes from, that the NDIA sets the price limits, and that the practice can talk through a plan on the phone. It does not say approved. It does not say a service is covered, because the answer depends on the plan.

Under a clock

Children aged 8 and under with lower support needs are due to leave the scheme from 1 January 2028. A practice built on early childhood work should plan its site and its referral base with that date in view. We do not predict what replaces it, because the Thriving Kids model is still being rolled out by the states.

Therapy is the third biggest block of NDIS spending

Figures are for 2025-26 and are item sums from NDIA data, so each is a floor.

Two rule sets, one page

AHPRA and the National Boards, plus the NDIS Commission

AHPRA's advertising requirements prohibit testimonials in advertising of regulated health services, and its examples say you cannot use patient feedback or reviews that include a clinical aspect. Occupational therapists, physiotherapists and psychologists are regulated. Speech pathologists, dietitians and exercise physiologists are not AHPRA-regulated, though the Australian Consumer Law still applies. The Commission's guidance bars false efficacy claims and claims that cannot be substantiated independently.

Reviews and parent quotes do not appear on pages for regulated clinicians, including Google review widgets. Pages describe what a session involves and never what outcome to expect. Check each profession's own code before we publish.

What parents and adults type

Observed in Google autocomplete for Australia on 3 November 2026. Rate queries such as "ndis speech pathology rate" are about price limits and mostly come from providers, so they are not service searches.

Other service business sites we run

We have no NDIS or health clients. This is a regulated professional practice we work for, where advertising rules shape every page. Its results are its own and not a promise for therapy.

Your questions

Does a therapist need NDIS registration?
Not to serve self-managed or plan-managed participants. Registration is needed for NDIA-managed funding.
Can our site show patient reviews?
Not for AHPRA-regulated services if the review has a clinical aspect. AHPRA says you cannot use feedback or reviews from patients that include a clinical aspect in your advertising.
Can we promise outcomes?
No. The Commission says providers must not make false efficacy claims or claims that cannot be substantiated independently.
What is Thriving Kids and when does it matter?
A $4bn, five year first phase of foundational supports announced on 5 February 2026 for children aged 8 and under with developmental delay or autism and low to moderate support needs. State services start rolling out from 1 October 2026, and the new eligibility rules start on 1 January 2028.
Does the funding reset affect therapy budgets?
Improved daily living skills budgets are cut 10% on new plans and reassessments from 1 October 2026 and on other plans from 1 February 2027, with a list of exempt supports. Check each item type on the Department of Health fact sheet before you tell a client anything.
How should price be shown?
The Minister's first pricing determination was made on 24 September 2026, and different prices for unregistered providers are under consultation. Link to the NDIA price schedule and do not copy figures into pages.
Can a therapy practice also offer support coordination?
The NDIA describes a coordinator delivering other funded supports as a conflict to declare and manage. Do not use an offer to handle coordination as a hook for therapy.
Can we give a discount to new NDIS clients?
Rewards or inducements with no link to the plan, that could encourage someone to take up a service, are sharp practice under the Commission's guidance. Pricing the same for participants and non-participants is the safe line.
