We schedule the therapy sessions based on your availability. You can call our office or send us an email to schedule sessions.
To schedule an appointment, you can call our office or send us an email. Our admin coordinator will work with you to schedule an initial consultation with one of our therapists.
To begin your journey with us:
- Book a free consultation (optional) – Discuss your child’s needs with our team
- Complete a service agreement – Formalise your participation
- Initial assessment – We’ll evaluate your child’s strengths and needs
- Begin ongoing therapy sessions – Start regular, tailored interventions
The initial assessment includes a 60-minute interview with parents or caregivers and a 120-minute in-person assessment with the child.
Ongoing therapy sessions typically start at 2 hours per session. For younger children, we may recommend beginning with 1-hour or 1.5-hour sessions to ensure comfort and engagement. To maintain therapy intensity, we advise a minimum of two sessions per week.
After the initial assessment, we design individualised programmes based on the assessment results, parental input, and NDIS goals for the ongoing therapy.
A referral is not necessary; we welcome all patients to seek our services.
For NDIS Participants:
If you are self-managing your NDIS funds, we will email your invoice directly to you. You can then process payment and submit your claim through the NDIS portal.
For participants using plan management, we send invoices directly to your nominated plan manager. They will process payment using your approved NDIS funding.
For Private Clients:
We accept payment via bank transfer or credit card.
Yes, if your NDIS plan includes Capacity Building Support under the subcategory Improved Daily Living, you can use your funding for our services.
If your plan does not include this category, you will need to cover the cost privately. We recommend checking your NDIS plan or contacting your plan manager or support coordinator to discuss potential adjustments if needed.
