NDIS Information

NDIS self-managing clients can choose any Speech Pathologist you prefer with any advertised fee you are happy to pay.
-
Plan managers can purchase registered or non-registered services on your behalf but they must make sure that prices paid for supports on behalf of yourself, adhere to the arrangements in the NDIS Price Guide, including price limits (so they can choose any Speech Pathology Service but the price must be within NDIS limits).

We are currently unable to provide services for NDIS agency managed clients, however, we hope to be able to do this in the near future.
