What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a national funding scheme by the Australian government that is designed to help individuals under the age of 65 with a permanent disability. The scheme entitles eligible participants to receive funding for reasonable and necessary supports related to their disability. For more information, please see: https://www.ndis.gov.au/

​

Do you see clients under NDIS?

Yes, I can see clients who have 'self-managed funding' or 'plan-managed funding'.

​

Participants who are self-managed pay for services upfront and then claim the funds back from NDIS. Participants who are plan-managed have a plan nominee who pays directly to the service provider and claims back the funds from NDIS on the participant's behalf.

​

Please note: I do NOT see clients who have 'NDIA-managed funding'.

​

How much do you charge?

Each session is billed at the NDIS standard rate for psychologists which is currently $214.41 per hour.

• Behaviour management and parent/family support

• Assessments (if applicable)

​​

Which age ranges do you see?
