I went out for a breakfast bbq at a national park this morning [edited by moderator to remove location]. I came home and bought a national parks pass for hubby and I. It will give us something to do on weekends. Spent ages on the phone waiting for Centrelink and then I spoke to my NDIS LAC. Good news, I can keep using my NDIS funding for my psychologist.

Received my white card in the post today but DVA doesn’t fully cover the cost of my psych. I don’t want to be out of pocket. So I made sure I could still use my NDIS funding

My psychologist costs $248 for 60 minutes. DVA pay that but for 90 minutes. Therefore for a 60 minute appointment I will be out of pocket. I see a psychiatrist at the public clinic
