$750*

You may apply for NDIS with autism Level 2 and 3. Often a single clinician diagnosis is accepted when done by a clinical psychologist. However, NDIS may ask for additional information such as a letter from a paediatrician and/or speech pathologist to confirm the diagnosis for children or a psychiatrist for adults. This is in keeping with National Guidelines for best practice for autism assessments.

The fee may vary depending on the quality of the report. Often significant evidence required by the NDIS is missing. I will advise you up front of the fee.
