SCT services

Navigating the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) can feel overwhelming—especially when it comes to understanding what supports you can access, how to use your funding, and who to turn to for help. Whether you’re a new participant or supporting a loved one, we’re here to make the process easier.

At South Coast Therapy & Support Group, we help individuals and families across Shoalhaven and Illawarra access high-quality occupational therapy, speech pathology, and allied health assistant services—tailored to their goals, needs, and NDIS plan.

• Occupational therapy

• Speech pathology

Funding is based on your goals—so identifying what you want to achieve is the first step.

How to Access Our Services

Here’s how the process works if you’re an NDIS participant in Shoalhaven or Illawarra:

Step 1: Reach Out

Contact our admin team via phone, email, or online form. We’ll ask a few questions about your goals, current supports, and how your NDIS plan is managed (self, plan, or NDIA managed).

We’ll match you with a suitable therapist based on your location, needs, and preferences. An intake meeting helps us understand your priorities and plan for assessments or therapy sessions.
