    FAQ

    Can you provide Functional Capacity Assessment?

    Yes, our social worker can conduct Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA), as evidence to present for your NDIS application. 

    NOTE: We can only conduct FCA if the primary disability type is either Psychosocial Disability, or Other Disability. Refer to this NDIS official page for more details on disability types – https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/how-apply/information-support-your-request/types-disability-evidence

    and

    Assessment Recommendation Therapy or Training – Counsellor with Item Code: 15_043_0128_1_3

    How do I know if I’m eligible for this service?

    If you are Self-Managed or Plan-Managed, you may be eligible to claim for our therapy session. Check with your Local Area Coordinator (LAC), Support Coordinator, or Plan Manager to see if your NDIS plan includes access to our therapy support service.

    If you are NDIA-Managed, you will not be able to claim our therapy session costs.

    Can I access services outside of Melbourne?

    We provide Online Telehealth sessions so you don’t have to be physically located in Melbourne to access our support.

    You will need a device of your choice (computer, laptop, mobile phone, or a tablet), and stable internet connection, to join our online session via Google Meet.

    How are services tailored to my goals?

    We prioritise what matters most to you. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and identify what you want to achieve. By working collaboratively, we’ll align your personal aspirations with your NDIS goals to help you make meaningful progress.

    How much is psychosocial and capacity building therapy work for NDIS participants?

    At Ashore Wellness, we ensure that our fees for eligible NDIS participants remain fair and consistent, matching the rates we charge all our regular clients. We believe in providing accessible therapy services without increasing costs for NDIS participants – WE DO NOT ENGAGE IN SHARP PRACITCE!

    Visit our Appointment page to view the latest pricing.

    For sessions requiring travel, such as home visits or Walk & Talk Therapy, additional travel-related costs may apply. These costs are typically claimable under your NDIS plan, making it easier for you to access the support you need.

    If you are a Self-Managed participant, all fees are payable directly to Ashore Wellness at the time of your session. After payment, you can lodge a claim with the NDIS to receive reimbursement.
