What people with Tourette Syndrome in Doreen usually need help with
Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterised by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalisations called tics. NDIS participants with Tourette syndrome may access psychology, behaviour support, and allied health services to manage tics, anxiety, and any co-occurring conditions such as ADHD or OCD. Support needs vary widely, with some people experiencing significant functional impact while others manage well with minimal support.
For chronic and complex medical conditions, the best starting point is usually identifying whether the main need is nursing, personal care, therapy, or a flexible combination, then comparing local providers who can adjust support when symptoms change.
What people usually compare locally
- • Availability of nursing or clinical staff with experience in the specific condition
- • Flexibility to adjust support at short notice during symptom changes
- • Coordination with local GPs, specialists, and hospital services
- • Whether the provider can deliver both personal care and clinical support through one service

Understanding Tourette Syndrome (TS)
Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic persisting for more than a year. It affects approximately 1 in 100 Australian children, though many cases are mild and go undiagnosed. Tics are involuntary, rapid, recurrent movements or sounds that range from simple (eye blinking, throat clearing) to complex (sequences of movements, echolalia, and in rare cases coprolalia). Tourette syndrome commonly co-occurs with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and learning difficulties, and these co-occurring conditions often cause more functional impairment than the tics themselves. For most people, tic severity peaks in early adolescence and improves in adulthood, though some continue to experience significant tics throughout life. The NDIS funds support for people with Tourette syndrome whose tics and co-occurring conditions cause permanent and significant functional impairment.
How tourette syndrome affects daily life
Tourette syndrome affects daily life through the tics themselves and through the social and psychological impact they create. Tics can be painful, exhausting, and embarrassing. Suppressing tics in social situations requires enormous mental effort and often leads to a rebound of more intense tics later. School and workplace environments can be difficult when tics attract attention or disrupt activities. The co-occurring conditions (ADHD, OCD, anxiety) often affect daily function more than the tics. Children with Tourette syndrome frequently experience bullying, social isolation, and self-esteem problems. Adults may face employment discrimination and social stigma.
What to look for in a provider
Good Tourette syndrome providers understand that tics are involuntary and that the co-occurring conditions are often the bigger functional issue. Ask whether their psychologists have experience with habit reversal training (HRT) or comprehensive behavioural intervention for tics (CBIT), whether their OTs can address the sensory and executive function aspects, and how they support the person in school or workplace settings. Red flags include providers who focus only on stopping tics (which is rarely possible), who treat tics as a behaviour problem, or who do not assess for and address co-occurring ADHD, OCD, and anxiety.
How to access funding
Tourette syndrome is on the NDIS List D, meaning access requires evidence of permanent and significant functional impairment. A neurologist, paediatrician, or psychiatrist provides the diagnosis, and functional assessments from psychologists and OTs document the impact on daily living. Many people access the NDIS with Tourette syndrome plus co-occurring conditions such as ADHD or OCD. Plans are reviewed annually. The Tourette Syndrome Association of Australia can provide guidance on the NDIS access process.

Plan size depends on tic severity, the impact of co-occurring conditions, and whether the person needs support worker hours in addition to therapy. Most Tourette-only plans are therapy-focused, but those with complex co-occurring conditions may need additional daily support.
Psychology sessions for CBIT/HRT cost $193-$234/hr under the NDIS. OT sessions are billed at similar rates. Support worker rates start around $55-$65/hr on weekdays.
Figures are indicative and based on the current NDIS Price Guide and published Home Care Package rates. Actual costs depend on your plan, provider, and location.
