Why it works

Psychology that fits around Blacktown life

Western Sydney is big, the traffic is real, and time is tight. Telehealth takes those barriers off the table.

Seeing a psychologist by secure video means no commute across Blacktown or the wider region, no time off work for travel, and access that does not depend on transport or mobility. For most people, video sessions are just as effective as sitting in the same room, and far easier to keep up with around work, study and caring. If you would prefer to talk through other arrangements, that is a conversation we can have when you book.

Assessment

ADHD and autism assessment for Blacktown residents

A structured, unhurried process, and a report you can actually use, usually within two to four weeks.

Assessment combines a structured clinical interview, developmental history, validated rating scales, and collateral information from people who know you well. You then receive a clear written report, typically within two to four weeks, written to be understood rather than to gather dust. It can support an NDIS access request or plan review, a GP or psychiatrist's review, workplace or study adjustments, and your own understanding of how you are wired. No referral is needed to enquire.

Funding

How NDIS funding works for psychology

Two clear pathways, and the free 15-minute call is where we confirm which one fits you.

If you are self-managed, invoices come to you directly. If you are plan-managed, invoices go to your plan manager. Either way, services are billed at NDIS price guide rates. If you are agency-managed, you will need a registered NDIS provider, as Wiser Minds is not registered. Prefer to use Medicare instead of NDIS funding? Therapy is $118.95 a session, with a $98.95 rebate leaving about $20 out of pocket when you have a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan.

Important: Wiser Minds is not a registered NDIS provider. Services are available to participants who are self-managed or plan-managed only. Agency-managed participants must access psychology through a registered NDIS provider. If you are unsure of your management type, check your NDIS plan or ask your support coordinator.
