Will a diagnosis guarantee me funding?

No, while our assessments are conducted in line with the requirements of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), receiving a diagnosis does not guarantee funding. In some cases, additional reports or referrals from other professionals, such as a psychiatrist, occupational therapist, or speech therapist, may be required to support your application for funding. Even with all the necessary documentation, funding approval is subject to the specific criteria and decision-making process of the funding body or program.
