Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy and Assessment FAQ’s

  • You don’t need a referral for assessment.

    However if you or your child is wanting an Autism assessment, and you are under the age of 25 years, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates with a referral from either a paediatrician or a psychiatrist. With this you would get up to 8 rebates of $89.65.

    There are no Medicare rebates available for other types of assessments.

  • Currently I have no plans to be able to take on new therapy clients. My current focus is on providing assessments, training and supervision.

  • During your first appointment I will be asking lots of questions, getting to know you. I will be asking about your early development, your medical and schooling history, what concerns and questions you would like answered in the assessment. We will discuss the process and what to expect at each stage.

    This first appointment is important as it allows us to work together to design the most appropriate assessment plan. It will lay the foundation of our work together so the more information I can gather, the better the assessment will be.

  • I am able to accept NDIS funding for plan and self-managed clients and Medicare rebates for applicable services.

  • Nothing except your favourite fidget! Our first appointment will be getting to know you and developing a plan for your assessment.

    That said, if you have any previous assessment reports or school reports they are very useful.
