Employment Related Assessment, Counselling and Advice - Physiotherapist

Line Item Description

This NDIS Capacity Building support item, 10_055_0128_5_3 Employment Related Assessment, Counselling and Advice - Physiotherapist, is specifically designed to assist participants in successfully engaging in, or returning to, work by addressing physical barriers and functional limitations related to their disability. This support is delivered by a qualified Physiotherapist and is claimed under the 'Finding and Keeping a Job' category.

The service is focused on identifying your unique physical strengths and functional barriers to employment, which then informs the necessary employment supports and a clear work plan.

Key components of the support include:

Functional and Vocational Assessment: A comprehensive assessment of your physical function, mobility, strength, and endurance to determine its impact on your capacity to work safely and effectively. The assessment helps analyse your transferable skills and physical capabilities in relation to potential job roles.

Workplace Adjustment Recommendations: Providing advice on essential physical adjustments or modifications to the work environment or processes (e.g., manual handling, seating, workflow) to ensure your job is maintained and matches your physical capabilities.

Counselling and Advice: Offering personalised strategies and guidance to manage physical challenges in a work setting and to develop a tailored and realistic employment pathway.

Education and Support: Providing education for the participant, employer, and other workplace personnel on the physical aspects of the disability and how to best support successful employment outcomes.

This line item is appropriate for working-age participants who require specialised support due to a physical disability that affects their movement and function, particularly those who need help to develop a new work pathway or when their disability prevents a return to their previous occupation.
