NDIS Assessment

how it works

As a Clinical Psychologist, I provide specialised, evidence-based cognitive and functional assessments for Plan-Managed and Self-Managed NDIS participants across the Southern Highlands.

NDIS plans require explicit, objective proof of how a disability impacts everyday life. My comprehensive assessment packages are specifically structured to meet strict NDIA reporting guidelines, ensuring your support needs are accurately quantified and defensible at your next plan review.

ASSESSMENTS I PROVIDE

1. Cognitive & Intellectual Profiling: Detailed evaluations (including WAIS-IV ) to identify intellectual disabilities, cognitive strengths, and learning barriers.

2. Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs): Comprehensive evaluations mapping how cognitive impairments impact communication, social interaction, learning, mobility, and self-management (ABAS-3 or Vineland-3)

3. Neurodevelopmental & Diagnostic Reviews: Objective evidence-gathering to support primary or secondary disability diagnoses for NDIS access or plan variations.

On enquiry plan managers/support coordinators are provided with a detailed NDIS Assessment Referral Intake Form. On review I will confirm clinical suitability and send a Funding Confirmation Request. Once funding is confirmed a formal NDIS Assessment Service Agreement is signed and the participant is booked in for the initial session.

WHY CHOOSE A PRIVATE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

1. No NDIA Registration Required: Because you are Plan-Managed or Self-Managed, you can bypass long public waitlists and choose an independent clinician directly.

2. NDIS Pricing Compliance: All services are capped strictly at the official NDIS national fee schedule for psychology, meaning zero out-of-pocket gaps for standard allocations.

3. Functional Reporting Focus: I translate complex psychometric data into clear, practical everyday limitations that NDIS planners actually understand.

BENEFITS

1. Saves time: my framework utilises single standardised line items for distinct face to face and non face to face breakdowns and facilitates ease of administration.

2. Reduces possibility of overservicing: assessments are packaged into predefined fixed hourly blocks making participant’s budget allocation totally predictable.

3. Fraud and compliance: as I am fully registered through AHPRA and hold specialist Clinical Psychologist status this acts as credentialing compliance.
