Funding options
Understanding how support is funded makes it much easier to take the first step. Families come to us in all sorts of circumstances — some with a referral in hand, some with an NDIS plan, and plenty with neither — so there’s rarely one answer that fits everyone.
Below is a plain-language overview of the ways families fund sessions with us. When you get in touch, we’ll talk through what applies to your family and make sure you have a clear picture before anything is booked.

Medicare
Many families access sessions with the help of a Medicare rebate, using a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral from their GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist.

NDIS
If your child’s NDIS plan includes funding for psychology, that support is already allocated. We work with families whose plans are self-managed or plan-managed.

Paying privately
You’re welcome to see us without a referral or an NDIS plan. Many families prefer the simplicity of arranging support directly, with no obligation to book.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need a referral to see you?
No. You’re welcome to book with us without one. A referral is only needed if you’d like to access a Medicare rebate for your sessions.
Who provides the referral for a Medicare rebate?
Your child’s usual GP can prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral. If your child already sees a paediatrician or psychiatrist, they can refer your child directly.
Can we use our NDIS funding here?
If your child’s plan is self-managed or plan-managed and includes funding for psychology, then yes. Get in touch and we’ll help you work out how it applies.
How do we find out what's involved?
Simply ask. Get in touch and we’ll talk you through it, based on your family’s circumstances.
