Common questions

I'm not currently registered with the NDIS as a provider. I work with plan-managed and self-managed participants. AHPRA registration (clinical) and NDIS registration (program) are different things - the families page walks through why.

Per the current NDIS Price Guide for OT services. I don't charge above guide rates, and I don't charge for short coordination phone calls.

All three, depending on what the goal calls for. The clinic is in Chermside; home and school visits are within roughly 15 km.

It varies. As of the last update, I have capacity for new participants within two to three weeks. Coordinator referrals for FCAs or AT assessments typically get booked sooner.

Yes, and for younger children I'd strongly prefer that you do - you're the most important part of generalising any of this beyond the session itself. For older children and adolescents, we'll talk about it together - they often participate more openly without a parent in the room.

Any previous OT, speech, or psychology reports; the referring letter if there is one; and a short note from you about what brought you to OT and what you'd want to be different.

A typical paediatric block is fortnightly sessions over 8–12 weeks, followed by a review. After that we'll have a much clearer picture of whether to continue, pause, or wrap up.

Yes, where the visit supports an OT goal already in your child's plan. I'll coordinate with your school's learning-support person directly.

Usually yes if there are at least four weeks before the meeting. Less than that I'll be honest about whether the report would be useful or rushed.

It will if the clinical picture supports it. I will not write an evidence letter for a support I don't think is the right one - that would harm the participant's plan, not help it.

Yes. I invoice the plan manager per session at the NDIS Price Guide rate.
