At the moment, all of our therapy spaces are full as we are thoughtfully supporting the children currently in our care. If you feel we’d be a good fit for your family, you’re welcome to add your child’s name to our waitlist—and we’ll be in touch as soon as a space becomes available.
Fees & Funding
Sunshine Coast Child Play Therapy is passionate about supporting as many families and children to access Play Therapy services. We accept both privately paying and NDIS self and plan-managed individuals.
SCCPT works alongside children and their families to reach their NDIS goals. We are also passionate about collaborating with all relevant professionals working with you and your family, in order to promote the best outcomes for your child.
Play Therapy is an NDIS approved intervention. You can allocate funds from your child’s self-managed or plan-managed agreement towards Play Therapy. Unfortunately at this stage, Play Therapy cannot be claimed through a Medicare, Private Health insurance, or a Mental Health Care Plan.

Discharge and Generalisation Planning

This meeting also discusses future directions or further referrals where necessary. As each family is unique, the therapeutic journey may take varying amounts of time.
