Cost & funding

Fees depend on the service, the provider and the length of the session. Ask each provider for their fees before the first visit.

If your child's NDIS plan includes behaviour support, you can use it to pay a behaviour support practitioner. For a psychologist, Medicare pays a rebate for some sessions when your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral first.

If your child has an NDIS plan that includes these supports, you can use it. If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can also use providers that are not NDIS registered. If the NDIA manages your plan, you must use registered providers.
