FAQ
What is NDIS?
The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.
What kind of support do you provide for NDIS clients?
We provide psychology NDIS services under the ‘Improved daily living skills’ category.
Do you cover all NDIS clients?
There are three options to manage your NDIS funding – self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed.
We are able to provide fully covered psychology service to:
Self-management
The NDIA provides you with funding so you can access the supports that will best help you pursue your goals.
Plan-managed funding
The NDIA will provide funding in your plan to pay for a Plan Manager who pays your providers for you, helps you keep track of funds and takes care of financial reporting for you.
However, as we are not NDIS registered providers, we are unable to provide service if your plan is managed by NDIA.
NDIA-managed funding
The NDIA pays your providers on your behalf.
