NDIS clients
NorthPsych and the NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the government program that supports more than 500,000 Australians with access to services and support they need to live their life and achieve their goals.
If you are self-managed or plan managed, NorthPsych may be able to offer you psychology, counselling, psychoeducation and dietetics services.
Unfortunately, we do not see clients under agency-managed NDIS funding at this time. If you are agency managed, please speak with your plan manager to discuss your support options.
For more information, you can contact reception on (02) 9999 6216 or info@northpsych.com.au

You must be between the ages of nine and 65.
You must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or Protected Special Category Visa holder.

How to apply
The NDIS application process is entirely separate from NorthPsych. You can access information and apply through the following links.
I already have an NDIS plan
At NorthPsych we see clients with self-managed and plan-managed funding.
Self-managed
On a self-managed NDIS plan, you are responsible for managing the allocation of funds. You can choose who provides services and they do not have to be registered with the NDIS. Self-managed NDIS clients at NorthPsych are billed under a private code and you make the payment directly. Once the payment is received, we will email you an invoice which you can then use to claim the NDIS funds.
Plan managed
Plan-managed NDIS clients have a plan manager who is responsible for the management of your funding and billing. They will keep track of your usage and also make payments directly to NorthPsych. Once we have received all NDIS information from you, we send future invoices directly to your plan manager.
Agency managed
Unfortunately, we do not see clients under agency-managed NDIS funding at this time.
What plan am I on?
