BuildKare NDIS provides NDIS-funded psychology for participants in Parramatta, Western Sydney and South West Sydney. Our registered psychologists support people living with disability to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and behavioural challenges, build coping skills, and work toward the goals in their NDIS plan.
Sessions are available at our Parramatta office at 100 George Street, in your home, or by telehealth, whichever works best for you.

How NDIS psychology is funded
Psychology is usually funded from your Capacity Building budget under Improved Daily Living. The NDIS sets a national price limit for psychology (currently $232.99 per hour under the 2025-26 Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits) and we invoice within that limit.
You do not need a GP referral or Mental Health Care Plan to use NDIS funding for psychology. Your NDIS plan is all that is required.
We support agency-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants.
Assessment reports are quoted upfront so you know exactly how much of your plan will be used.

Frequently asked questions about NDIS psychology
Does the NDIS fund psychology?
Yes. Psychology is typically funded under Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living when it helps you build skills and independence related to your disability. Your plan must include this funding.
Do I need a referral to see an NDIS psychologist?
No GP referral or Mental Health Care Plan is needed to use NDIS funding. Participants, families, support coordinators and plan managers can refer directly to BuildKare NDIS.
Can I get an autism or ADHD assessment through the NDIS?
Diagnostic assessments are generally not funded by the NDIS for people who are not yet participants. If you already have a plan with Improved Daily Living funding, assessments such as cognitive and adaptive functioning assessments may be funded where they support your plan goals or plan review. Call us to discuss your situation.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a behaviour support practitioner?
A psychologist provides therapy and assessment for mental health and emotional wellbeing. A behaviour support practitioner develops positive behaviour support plans. BuildKare NDIS offers both; see our behaviour therapy page.
Do you offer telehealth psychology sessions?
Yes. Video sessions are available for participants anywhere in NSW and can be mixed with in-person sessions.
How much does NDIS psychology cost?
We charge within the NDIS national price limit for psychology ($232.99 per hour for 2025-26). Assessments are quoted in advance based on the number of hours required.
Do you see children?
Yes. We work with children, teenagers and adults, and we can see children at home or at school where appropriate.
