NDIS

All our psychologists provide psychological services to clients who are participants of the NDIS. Please ensure you bring your NDIS plan and details of your plan manager to your first appointment.

Workcover
We provide both early intervention to workers who are struggling to maintain their roles, and rehabilitation for workers who have left the workplace. We can commence therapy once we have received your WorkCover medical certificate signed by your GP. Our aim is to get you into therapy as soon as possible as this provides you with the best clinical outcomes.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Research shows everyone benefits from an immediate set of 4-6 psychology sessions after being involved in a serious accident. We provide evidence-based therapy for people who are left feeling anxious, traumatised, dealing with ongoing pain and/or managing significant injuries from being involved in a motor vehicle accident. If you have an approved insurance claim, we are able to bill your insurer for your psychology sessions.
