What other types of funding do you accept?

We frequently work with clients supported by the NDIS and VOCAT. We also work with domestic violence shelters and mental health centres who often can access other funding.

I'm covered by the NDIS, can I work with you?

We are not registered with the NDIS. While we would love to be registered, registration is expensive. The good news is, it is still possible to access funding for the conscious combat club through the NDIS! To access this program through the NDIS, you’ll need to either self manage your NDIS plan, or use an NDIS Plan Manager. If your plan is NDIA Managed, you can only access NDIS registered providers.

We are happy to assist with further information around NDIS funding. Please email or call us and we will provide further information about line items, service agreements and invoicing.
