More Than Able is not a registered NDIS Service Provider. We provide therapy support to self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. NDIS participants can be seen at home, school, or at our clinic.
We follow the NDIS price guide for allied health services and have a price guide review each calendar year.
Please contact us if you require further information or visit the NDIS website.
Chronic Disease Management (formerly Enhanced Primary Care or EPC) is a GP-initiated referral, clients may be eligible to access allied health services for up to five (5) visits. Mental health care plans are a GP-initiated referral specifically to access up to ten (10) Psychologist appointments per year. These treatment plans allow for a Medicare rebate on the full cost of private health services.
Many Private Health plans include rebates on occupational therapy and physiotherapy services. Each health fund differs with respect to how rebates are processed, and the amount they provide as a rebate.
We recommend that you consult your provider to enquire about the rebate you may be able to access for therapy services before your appointment at More Than Able Therapy. It is not possible to use both Medicare and private health rebates for the same session.
May include continuation of support through Better Start funding when NDIS access has not been provided. More information is available here.

Our therapists are more than able to see the potential in your little person. Check out how each of the disciplines work and what you can expect from your MTA team.
No, you do not need a referral to see our Physio, Occupational Therapist, or Speech Therapist.

The first appointment is used to get to know you and your child, asses their
current abilities, and develop an understanding of their strengths and
difficulties. We can then together as a team develop goals and make a plan to
achieve those goals.
The first step is to contact More Than Able Therapy via email, phone, or
website. You will be asked to fill in an intake form. Once the intake form is
received and has been reviewed by our team, our clinical director will
contact you.
We believe that collaboration across allied health services is the gold standard of therapy. Each of your therapists focus on different aspects of each activity, and we recognise that isolating one of these is often pointless.
Learning how to move your legs should be tied to exploring your world, which requires cognitive development and communication. This approach is most suitable for our early developers, and kids with complex needs. Additionally, having one therapy session per week instead of multiple visits is a real-time saver for families!
The short answer is, YES! We love working with other disciplines and are as flexible as we can be in organising joint sessions with clinicians from other clinics including speech therapists, psychologists, dieticians, exercise physiologists etc.
This will depend entirely on your child's needs. We don’t usually believe that more therapy is better. Often having more than one provider in each discipline overloads kids with therapy, confuses the goals and focus for the family, and leads to burnout across the board for parents and kids alike.
If however, you are not from this region and your family is engaging with local therapists, you may choose to visit us for a specific therapy style like Therasuit or an intensive program. In this case, we communicate with your local therapy team and work with your family as much as possible to ensure a thorough handover and update on achievements is given.
Yes. We often work with families in the early stages of observation and assessment of infants and young children in order to clarify their developmental level and understand the presence of any differences or potential delays.
Our clinicians often assess and put together reports for paediatricians or neonatologists as they work with families to explore their child’s development.
