Please fill in our referral form linked below (or ask your GP) to get started.
What can I expect?
The first step is a 1 hour initial consultation session with a qualified professional - this session will help develop your plan.
Our assessments are thorough and tailored to each person’s needs, at the end of the first session we’ll have developed an individual assessment pathway which will include full pricing.
In that session, we’ll listen you, and we’ll explain what’s involved and what to expect through the assessment process.
We pride ourselves on delivering high quality assessments that form the basis of better well-being and personal growth. The SAL Consulting team also has the capacity to also provide support options and practical next steps for the future post-assessment.
What are my funding options?
We can explain this in more detail during your initial consultation and we can talk through different funding options like when you can use Medicare and NDIS funding.
We’ll listen – properly.
We listen with open ears and an open mind. You might come to us with a diagnosis in mind, but you can also trust our assessment process to explore what’s really going on, without bias or preconception. Our goal is to give every person the understanding and tools they need to live their best life.
What referral pathway do you need?
If you have a good relationship with your GP, they or other professionals such as a Case Worker or NDIS Support Coordinator can refer you directly to SAL Consulting. You can also self-refer to our team.
Either way, you’re in safe hands. We’ll guide you through the process with care and understanding.
