Supporting Letters
Quote on request

Brief clinical supporting letters and short-form documentation for plan reviews, AT applications and provider correspondence.

Complex Add-Ons
Quote on request

Where a participant's profile materially exceeds standard scope — extensive collateral, multiple co-occurring conditions, behaviour overlays — additional clinician time may be quoted before commencement.

Report Refresh / Re-Issue
Quote on request

Updating a recent report with new evidence, or re-issuing for plan review where most underlying data remains current.

Why Pricing Varies

Honest pricing means scope matters.

Published prices reflect a standard assessment scope. Where a participant's profile materially exceeds that scope, we scope it openly and quote before commencement — no surprises at invoicing.

1
Complexity

Multiple co-occurring conditions, behaviour overlays and complex psychosocial profiles may require additional clinician time.

2
Assessment scope

Combined FCA + SIL, FCA + SDA or multi-purpose evidence packs are priced differently to single-purpose assessments.

3
Report requirements

Standard NDIS-aligned reports differ from those that need to also support court, tribunal or appeal proceedings.

4
Participant support needs

Where additional shorter sessions, interpreter services or specialist sensory accommodations are required, these are scoped before commencement.

5
Additional documentation

Supporting letters, AT prescriptions, behaviour analysis reports or supplementary clinical briefs are quoted separately.

Pricing FAQ

Pricing & funding answers.

12 answers to the questions participants, families and Coordinators ask most often.

What is the cost of an NDIS Functional Capacity Assessment?+

Our standard NDIS Functional Capacity Assessment is $2,910 inclusive of GST. This includes document review, 1–2 structured clinical interviews, validated standardised tools, family and treating-team collateral, a comprehensive NDIS-aligned report and peer review before issue. Telehealth and in-person delivery are priced identically.

How much does a SIL assessment cost?+

Our independent SIL assessment is $2,910 inclusive of GST, with a fully costed Roster of Care, support ratio justification, active overnight versus sleepover analysis and behaviour overlay where required. Where co-tenant compatibility analysis or multi-resident SIL evidence packs are required, additional scope may be quoted before commencement.

What is the cost of an SDA assessment?+

An SDA assessment is $2,910 inclusive of GST and covers all four design categories — Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust and High Physical Support. Three-threshold analysis (extreme functional impairment, most appropriate design match, SDA over mainstream) is built in.

Is telehealth FCA pricing different from in-person?+

No. Telehealth FCA pricing is identical to in-person FCA pricing — $2,910 inclusive of GST — because the clinical depth, report length and peer-review process are identical. We never apply postcode-based pricing or telehealth surcharges.

Is the cost claimable through the NDIS?+

Yes. Our assessments are billable to NDIS funded participants on Plan-Managed and Self-Managed plans. Pricing aligns with current NDIS Pricing Arrangements under the Assessment, Recommendation, Therapy or Training line items. Agency-Managed participants should contact us to discuss provider activation.

Why are prices inclusive of GST?+

NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments delivered by an allied health professional are generally subject to GST. We publish prices inclusive of GST so participants and Coordinators see the true total cost without surprises at invoicing.

Do you charge for an initial discussion?+

No. We offer a free 15-minute clinical discussion before any commitment — talk through the participant's profile, the recommended evidence pathway and confirm we're the right fit. Detailed written quotes are provided within one business day for complex or non-standard cases.

Are payment plans available?+

Most assessments are billed once on report completion and paid via the participant's Plan Manager — so no payment plan is typically required. For private-pay arrangements or unusual circumstances, please contact us to discuss.

What is the cost for a complex multi-domain assessment?+

Our complex multi-domain assessments start at $2,910 inclusive of GST. Where participant profile materially exceeds standard scope — extensive collateral, multiple co-occurring conditions, behaviour overlays, court-level documentation — additional clinician time is quoted before commencement so there are no surprises.

How quickly will I receive an invoice after the report is issued?+

Invoices are issued within two business days of report delivery, with the relevant NDIS line item code, clinician AHPRA registration and a clean reference number for direct portal reimbursement or Plan Manager processing.

Do you require a deposit before commencing?+

No deposit is required for Plan-Managed participants. For self-funded private-pay arrangements we may discuss alternative billing on a case-by-case basis.

Can the cost be split between participants for shared SIL evidence?+

Where a shared SIL evidence pack benefits multiple co-residents, we offer a coordinated quote that reflects the genuine efficiencies of joint assessment without compromising individual clinical defensibility.
