Funding FAQ’s

Still have an unanswered question? – Maybe the answer is on our FAQ page. Head on over.

The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs, goals, and circumstances. Some clients benefit from multiple weekly sessions, while others may attend once weekly or fortnightly. Our team will create a personalised recommendation based on your assessment and ongoing progress. For intensive programs, daily sessions are typically scheduled.

Due to the specialised nature of our programs, we do not currently offer training outside of our two facilities in Burleigh and Ormeau. If you are unable to attend a face-to-face session, please contact our team to discuss a custom home exercise program.

Yes, Making Strides services can be accessed using NDIS funding. Our services are priced in line with the NDIS fee schedule. During your initial consultation, we can discuss how your NDIS plan can support your rehabilitation journey and help you understand how to best utilise your funding. We are happy to compile reports to support the process, contact us to request a report.

This is an unfortunate reality for many. We appreciate planning to maximise the budget annually to avoid this scenario. When it does happen, we can assist with a report, offer training alternatives at a lesser rate, like group sessions and discuss options for the interim. 

Yes, we create customised home exercise and therapy programs designed for clients to continue their rehabilitation journey between sessions or after completing an intensive program.
 
These programs include remote support through regular check-ins and guidance to ensure proper technique and progress. All home programs are designed to work with available resources and integrate effectively into daily life. For more pricing information, reach out to our team today.

We are happy to support your request for more Exercise physiology or physiotherapy. Not sure if we need this Q. Don’t want to imply Strides will help, as the funds are in a budget and can be used elsewhere as well.
