NDIS

​

​

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of providing disability support and funding to more than 450,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability that affects their daily life. For more information, please visit https://www.ndis.gov.au/understanding

​​

​Am I eligible for NDIS support?
You may be eligible for NDIS support if:

​

• Your mental illness or disability is permanent or life long, and affects daily activities

• You are under the age of 65 years old

• Live permanently in Australia

​

Reports and Review Assessments for NDIS
Our psychologists can only complete reports, letters and forms for current clients who regularly see them.

​If your last appointment with your psychologist has exceeded two months, this means that they are no longer your current practitioner, and we suggest seeing your current GP, psychiatrist, paediatrician or psychologist to obtain the required evidence needed for the NDIS.

As there is a high demand for reports and letters, there is a waitlist for these documents that can take upward of 4 weeks to 2 months to complete. It is best to plan ahead to be sure that all documentation is obtained before a NDIS application/review deadline (Fees will apply for letters and reports).

​

I've never officially had a diagnosis for my/my child's ASD. How do I go about getting a report for my NDIS application?
In order to provide evidence of ASD, arranging a diagnostic assessment is required. Our waitlist for diagnostic assessments is closed indefinitely. If you are seeking a diagnostic assessment you can find a clinician who currently offers this service through the Australian Psychological Society's 'Find a psychologist': https://psychology.org.au/find-a-psychologist​​​​
