Please contact the NDIA/NDIS for specific information regarding funding eligibility. We are not affiliated with the NDIS/NDIA and cannot offer advice.
Important Considerations
If an assessment may be used to support a funding application with an agency (e.g. NDIS or Services Australia), it is important to confirm the relevant eligibility requirements in advance. These agencies often require assessments to be completed by a psychologist with specific registration or qualifications. Selecting the appropriate psychologist and assessment from the outset is essential, as some assessments have restrictions on how often they can be repeated. Understanding the criteria relevant to your circumstances before proceeding will help ensure the assessment aligns with both current and future needs.
This assessment can be conducted for clients aged 4+
