Please give us as much notice as possible if you will need a report or a letter when applying. We have found so far that most people who just completed the form provided were rejected but with additional information this decision was reversed.
If you have been approved for NDIS and provided with a plan we don’t need to see the plan or know how much money you have been provided with but we will need to know the goals you are working towards.
Confused and not sure who to pick as a planner. We have found these plan managers know what they are doing, plus provide fast payments.

The Carer’s Allowance provides carer’s with a fortnightly payment to support the costs of caring for a child with developmental delays or disabilities. An application must be signed by a GP, Paediatrician, Psychologist or Speech Pathologist who is familiar with the child. This allowance is not assets or means tested.
Foster Children
If your child is a foster child then the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services may pay or refund the costs of therapy if they have identified the child as being eligible.
Insurance
We have worked with many different insurance providers to provide therapy for children who have been involved in motor vehicle accidents.
Charities
Occasionally a charity may fund a child to attend regular therapy sessions or an initial assessment.
