None of this is required to enquire, but it helps us find the right clinician and time for your child.
Quick answers to what families usually ask before getting in touch. Can’t see yours? Call us on (02) 9037 1163.
No. Families can self-refer at any time, and you don’t need a diagnosis to book an assessment. A referral is only needed if you want to claim a Medicare rebate, and the type of referral depends on which Medicare pathway applies.
Our fees are in line with industry standards for paediatric therapy, and current fee information is provided when you enquire. Our client care team can also explain what your funding is likely to cover and the expected out-of-pocket cost before your first session. See our funding options for an overview.
The Bridge Effect supports NDIS self-managed and plan-managed families. If your child’s plan is NDIA-managed, please talk to us before you book and we’ll go through your options. Our NDIS funding page has more detail.
Availability changes from week to week, so the best way to find out is to send an enquiry or call us. We’ll do our best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and we also offer cancellation spots when they come up.
Yes. Families have access to onsite or nearby parking at our clinic at 7/185 Briens Road, Northmead.
