Accessing NDIS Through the Early Childhood Approach
Lifestart is the NDIS Community Partner for access to the Early Childhood Approach in a variety of areas across Wollongong, Sydney, Blue Mountains and the Central Coast. This means we help parents and carers of children under 9 years in those areas access NDIS funding. Please be advised that we are not directly providing funding, and that once funding is granted, you cannot use that funding to use our Therapy & Behaviour Support services.
Using Medicare
Using Private Health Insurance
Many private health insurance policies offer rebates for therapies such as speech pathology, occupational therapy, and psychology. The extent of coverage varies depending on the policy. Families are encouraged to review their insurance plans.
