Common questions
Do you travel to Mount Barker?
Yes. Mount Barker is part of our regular service area, and assessments are carried out in the home or community rather than at a clinic.
Do I need a formal referral?
No. Anyone can start a referral: participants, family members, support coordinators, plan managers or GPs. The form asks who is making the referral and takes it from there.
Which funding do you accept in Mount Barker?
We work with NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, older adults through My Aged Care, and private clients.
How far around Mount Barker do you go?
The towns listed on this page are the ones we cover from here. If you are just outside them, send the referral through anyway and we will tell you straight away.
Can any of it be done by telehealth?
Some appointments can, and this is what one looks like. Assessments that depend on seeing the environment, home modifications in particular, need someone on site.
