If you have an NDIS plan, there’s a good chance it includes funding for psychology or counselling. Here’s a plain-language guide to how it works.

Referrers FAQ (NDIS & Medicare)
Frequently asked questions for referrers
Is Nurah an NDIS-registered provider?
Yes. Nurah operates under the registration and governance of CoAct, which holds full NDIS registration as the governing legal entity. All NDIS services are delivered in compliance with NDIS Practice Standards.
Can I refer agency-managed participants?
Yes. Nurah is registered to accept agency-managed participants for psychology, counselling, and behaviour support.
Can participants access psychology through Medicare?
Yes. Nurah accepts Mental Health Care Plan referrals from GPs. Eligible participants can access a Medicare rebate for psychology sessions.
Can participants access private health rebates for services?
Private health rebates may be available for some services, depending on the participant’s level of cover and provider eligibility. We recommend participants check directly with their health fund to confirm what rebates may apply.
What is the referral turnaround time?
We acknowledge all referrals within [X] business days. Initial appointment availability varies — contact us for current wait times.
Will I receive updates on the participants I refer?
Yes. We’ll update you when a participant has been accepted and matched, and at key clinical milestones. We can also provide progress reports on request.
Is there a conflict of interest between Nurah and CoAct Support Coordination?
No. Nurah operates entirely independently from CoAct Support Coordination. There is a clear structural and operational separation between the two services — by design. Referring a participant to Nurah will not create a conflict of interest for support coordinators.
What if a participant isn't sure which service they need?
Get in touch. We’ll help you work out the right pathway for your participant.
