WorkCover or CTP
If you are referred under an approved WorkCover or CTP claim, your doctor will need to note that psychology is part of your treatment plan when writing your Certificate of Capacity. Please provide a copy of the Certificate when booking your first appointment. We will ask for your insurer details and inform the insurer of our intention to provide services prior to the initial psychology consultation.
​
No fee is charged, the insurer is billed directly
​
NDIS
If you are accessing services through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), we welcome both plan-managed and self-managed participants. When booking your first appointment, please provide your NDIS plan details, including your NDIS number and the goals relevant to psychological support.
We will work collaboratively with you (and your support coordinator, if applicable) to ensure services align with your plan goals.
​
No upfront fee is charged for eligible services—plan managers are billed directly, or invoices are issued to self-managed participants for reimbursement.
