Already have an NDIS plan? Please see below
Introduction to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS):
-
For residents of Wyndham, NDIS will be available from October 1st 2018
-
A plan is developed with NDIA which can include funds allocated to psychological therapy sessions.
-
The entire session fee is covered by your NDIS funding (i.e. no gap fee), up to the maximum allocated in your plan.
-
If you, or your child, is already receiving disability funding (including HCWA for early intervention through 'Amaze'), you will be contacted by NDIA and supported to transition to a NDIS plan
-
Alternatively, if you, or your child, do not currently have disability funding:
-
Check if you may be eligible: ndis access checklist
-
NDIS states that they can support individuals who:
"Have a permanent disability that:-
reduces your ability to participate effectively in activities, or perform tasks or actions, unless you have support, and
-
affects your capacity for social and economic participation, and
-
means you are likely to require support under the NDIS for a lifetime."
-
-
-
For current clients who are applying for NDIS, Grace can help by providing professional material which supports the level of clinical assistance needed
-
Follow these links for more information about NDIS. Or more specifically about Early Intervention support through NDIS (ages 0-6).
I have an NDIS plan, can I use it to see Dr Grace Hancock?
If you would like to use some of your plan funds to see Grace for psychological assessment or therapy, please ensure the following:
-
You have funds allocated to the support area "Improved Daily Living"
-
This can be within either 'Therapeutic Supports' (ages 7 years and over) or 'Early Childhood Intervention' (ages 0-6 years)
-
-
Your plan manager confirms that your funding can be used for the type of psychological service that you are seeking
As Grace is a Registered Provider of NDIS, it doesn't matter whether your NDIS plan is managed by NDIA, an agency, or is self-managed. Grace is registered within the consortium Clear Messages.
