For clients navigating psychological support alongside a significant medical, neurological, or psychiatric condition — and for the GPs, support coordinators, and case managers referring them.
Some presentations don’t fit neatly into standard therapy models, and the psychological support needs to be built around the clinical and systemic picture, not the other way around. This work draws on experience across:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Catastrophic injury following motor vehicle accidents
- Chronic pain
- Immune disorders
- Cognitive impairment
- Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
- Physical disability
Systemic navigation
Alongside direct clinical work, this includes practical experience navigating the NDIS, ICWA (Insurance Commission of Western Australia) and NIISQ (National Injury Insurance Scheme) frameworks — understanding how psychological support fits within a plan, what’s fundable, and how to work alongside plan managers, support coordinators, and treating teams rather than in isolation from them.
Fees
NDIS-funded sessions are billed at no gap for participants who are self-managed or plan-managed. This practice isn’t currently NDIS-registered, so it’s not able to see NDIS participants whose plans are agency-managed — agency-managed participants are required to use a registered provider. ICWA and NIISQ funded sessions are billed at no gap.
For referrers
If you’re a GP, rehabilitation case manager, or NDIS support coordinator considering a referral:
- Telehealth-based, which suits clients for whom travel is difficult (post-injury, chronic pain, geographic distance)
- Works with NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, and ICWA claims — not currently able to accept agency/NDIA-managed NDIS referrals, as this practice isn’t NDIS-registered
- Comfortable liaising with treating teams, case managers, and other allied health providers as part of coordinated care
- Referrals can be sent via the form below, or directly to david@etherapyaustralia.org, or via fax (+61 8 6289 8603).
Once a referral is received, an intake form is sent by email to the client to complete before the first session is arranged. In addition, the referrer will be contacted upon receipt of referral.
