COMMITTED TO YOUR WELL-BEING Your health, comfort and clarity are our priority
We understand that one of the biggest barriers to seeking psychological support is uncertainty - especially around cost, process, and what to expect. That’s why we’re transparent and upfront, making it easier for individuals and families to access the help they need.
At Dot Connect QLD, we offer a range of support services for children, teens, and adults, with flexible options tailored to your situation. Psychology sessions may be accessed through multiple referral pathways, including Mental Health Care Plans (MHCPs), the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), private health, self-referral, Helping Children with Autism (HCWA), Department of Veteran Affairs, Workcover, and other funding models.
Our goal is to make quality psychological care feel accessible, supportive, and clear - right from the start.
