Neurofeedback Training for NDIS recipients
NDIS important legislative change update and what it means for you.
This is to inform Our Valued NDIS Participants, of an important update regarding your Neurofeedback Training services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
​
Due to the recent changes to NDIS legislation on October 3, 2024 the 30-day transitional period for offering Neurofeedback Training under NDIS funding will expire on 31 October 2024. Unfortunately, this means that from 1 November, 2024, NDIS will no longer provide funding for Neurofeedback Training.
​
We understand that Neurofeedback Training has been an extremely successful tool in supporting your child’s capacity-building goals, helping to improve focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive development. We have witnessed firsthand the positive outcomes many of our participants have experienced. To ensure your child can continue to benefit from this important therapy, we are committed to making Neurofeedback as affordable as possible for families during this transition.
​
Continuing to Advocate for Neurofeedback Funding
​
We want to reassure you that we are not giving up the fight. We are actively advocating for Neurofeedback Training to be reinstated as a funded support under NDIS. Every individual deserves the right to access therapies that work best for them, and we believe Neurofeedback should be available to all participants who benefit from it.
​
Applying for Neurofeedback Funding Under Section 34 of the NDIS Act 2013
In the meantime, you can still apply for Neurofeedback Training to be considered as a replacement support under Section 34 of the NDIS Act 2013. This section allows for participants to request funding for therapies that meet the "reasonable and necessary" criteria. If you believe Neurofeedback is essential to achieving your child’s NDIS goals, we are here to assist with the application process. This includes helping gather any necessary documentation, including clinical evaluations, letters of recommendation, and supporting evidence of Neurofeedback's effectiveness.
​
Our Commitment to You
We deeply value the trust you have placed in us to support your child’s development. While this change is disappointing, please know that we are here for you every step of the way. If you need assistance with your NDIS application, or if you have any questions about how this change will affect your therapy, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are dedicated to continuing to support your family in whatever way we can.
​
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to working with you to ensure that your child continues to receive the best possible care. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance with your application.

How does Neurofeedback training work?
Neurofeedback is an innovative training approach that helps your brain retrain itself to support healthier brainwave activity.
Sit back and relax
Our neurofeedback practitioners begin by ensuring your comfort and position electrodes on your scalp to capture an instant measurement of your brainwave activity.
Let your brain do the work
The Neurofeedback technology communicates with your brain directly, while you watch a movie, play a game, read a book, or listen to music.
Feel your brain change
As your brainwave activity shifts towards a healthier state, your brain receives positive feedback. Through regular sessions, these improvements become ingrained in your brain, leading to long-lasting changes.
What does Neurofeedback training look like?
1 - 2 sessions per week
45-60 minute sessions
20 - 30 sessions*
* The number of sessions required may differ based on the individual's condition. Individuals with more complex conditions might require additional sessions to achieve the best possible results.
