Rebalance Psychology is a registered NDIS provider of therapeutic supports for psychological assessment and therapy. Fees are charged at the current NDIS hourly rate for psychology. Before you can start therapy you must have a current NDIS plan with approval for relevant therapeutic supports. If you think this applies to you, consult your current NDIS plan or consult with your NDIS coordinator and/or plan manager to see if you are eligible and what funding is available for therapy in your current plan. Please contact us to make a booking. Your psychologist will draft an approved service agreement in consultation with you.
