Who this is for
NDIS participants, families and support coordinators who need OT input that may be suitable to complete online.
Avanti confirms whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
- NDIS plan, support coordinator and report context checked early
- Functional assessments and therapy planning considered for telehealth
- Home modifications and equipment trials directed to face-to-face where possible
Telehealth suitability
Online OT is useful when the task fits the setting.
Avanti's adult OT guidance is deliberately practical: telehealth can be a strong option for assessments, reports and some ongoing therapy, but it should not be used to shortcut work that needs the clinician in the home or with equipment in front of them.
Often suitable online
Assessments, reports and therapy planning
Functional Capacity Assessments, report writing, plan-review documentation and ongoing therapy can often be considered for telehealth when the referral context, documents and goals fit.
Usually better face to face
Home modifications and equipment trials
Home modifications and equipment prescription usually need face-to-face assessment where possible so the environment can be measured, safety checked and equipment trialled properly.
For NDIS enquiries, Avanti checks the plan context, participant goals, support coordinator details and whether the request is suitable online.
What to send first
One message, fewer phone calls - what to include.
Include the NDIS plan context, goals, current reports, support coordinator details, participant location and whether the request needs assessment, report or ongoing therapy input.
- Participant goals, plan management and support coordinator details
- Whether the request is for an FCA, report, therapy, equipment or home modification advice
- Existing reports, participant location and preferred delivery setting
Questions
Telehealth NDIS OT questions
Yes. Include the participant location, plan management type, goals, current reports and what the OT input needs to help answer.
It is usually a poor fit when the main task is measuring a home environment, checking physical access, or trialling equipment safely.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
