An NDIS review consists of scheduling a time for a parent only session with your child’s therapist and additional time for report writing. Once the report is complete and payment received, it will be emailed through to you. We recommend booking NDIS reviews in as soon as you know when you your NDIS meeting is. This is to allow time for it to be completed and sent to you prior to the meeting. A minimum of 4 weeks’ notice is required.

If we are offering a group your child is interested in, please speak with our friendly reception staff. We will gather some basic information and arrange a time for your child to attend a trial session to establish suitability.

Bright FACES offer an extensive range of assessments, some listed below. If you are after an assessment that is not listed, please contact our reception staff on 9971 5415 or info@brightfaces.com.au
