What is P.A.T.H?

P.A.T.H stands for Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope.

It is a globally recognised visual person-centred planning and goal setting tool developed by Marsha Forest, Jack Pearpoint and John O'Brien

It uses graphics to map out a vision of a desirable future for an individual or a group of people.

A person who can not read, can be assured their goals and dreams are correctly expressed

It helps participants and their supporters focus on NDIS goals, implementation of the goals and future planning

What is the Process?

The participant (Pathfinder) is supported by those who care about them, and who are interested in helping them move toward their goals.

Two of P2P's trained staff facilitate the process.

It uses colourful and creative images and drawings that provide memories without relying on words.

These images and colours assist in creative thinking, provide energy and support memory.

Goals are set, as part of the journey, then actions to achieve these goals are recorded.

Why have a P.A.T.H done with P2P?

It is an effective tool to help problem solve complex situations that need effective intervention. Especially if previous tools have not worked.

P2P works together with all parties in the best interest of the person with a disability [who was the primary focus] and support the primary carer.

P2P is neutral person for all parties present

We had our Path plan done today for our daughter and the support and enthusiasm from Beth and Matt is amazing. They helped us as parents to realise that we are on the right "path" for our daughter and they gave us so many ideas moving forward. Thank you so much, it is great knowing that we do have help and support and people who can guide us in the right direction. P2P cares and are committed to our daughters future. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts xxx
Amanda, P.A.T.H Recipient

How much does a P.A.T.H cost?

A P.A.T.H planning session costs $550 including GST and generally takes between 2- 4 hours.

Can a P.A.T.H be covered by NDIS funding?

Yes! For the NDIS, you can use your Capacity Building support budget to have a P.A.T.H completed and tailored towards your goals. Depending on your Core Categories, we may also be able to use those funds.
Contact us for more information on getting Capacity Building in your NDIS plan.
Who are the facilitators?

Our facilitators have:

A daughter or son with a disability.

Training in various models of planning.

Personal life experience.

Please fill out the enrolment form by following the link above if you would like to get started. Or feel free to call for a chat.

We are a caring professional music therapy service providing home visits to families that have children and adults with special needs in the Brisbane and Ipswich greater regions. We acknowledge there is a growing need for a home service to minimise the challenges a family may have with coordinating multiple therapy sessions, travel time and quality family time. We are a team of compassionate and experienced Registered Music Therapists who want to connect and assist with your child to meet therapy goals whilst having fun, inspiring them to shine and be the best they can be.

Our Approach

Shine Time Music Therapy provides a fun, safe, nurturing, and musical environment for your child to truly shine, reveal their gifts, and be encouraged to develop in areas of need.
Individual, family or small group sessions are available. Other requests such as sessions with friends, siblings, playgroups or school visits can be organised to help work on important goals such as social skills.
Firstly, your music therapist will identify with you the key therapy goals for your child. This simply involves having an initial chat with your therapist about your child's needs and then organising two music therapy assessment sessions. From this process, your therapist will write up an assessment form to identify the key therapy goals, which will then become the foundation of the ongoing music therapy program.
Key therapy goals may include self-expression, social skills, coordination, language skills, greater awareness of self, creativity, exploration of music and all while having fun.
Sessions are structured to create a range of activities that work towards the therapy goals that have been identified. An example session may include a greeting song, singing, dancing, playing instruments, action songs, improvisation, relaxation and a good bye song.
If you have any enquiries regarding NDIS funding, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.

" We are qualified music therapists registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association."

What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is a profession where music is used as a support to improve health, functioning and well being. Music therapists are musicians who have trained at university to understand how music can have an effect on behaviors, feeling and thinking. Music therapists create and help achieve client goals that will be worked on during the therapy sessions. These goals might be communication goals, social goals, movement goals, mood and feelings goals. In a music therapy session people might sing, play instruments, dance, perform, listen and talk about music. Some of the places music therapists work in are schools, day services, community centers, hospitals and in clients homes. Music therapy sessions might be individual or in a group.

A welcoming, quiet and supportive gaming hangout for people on the autism spectrum to get together, play video games and socialise

ABOUT US

Opened in 2020, The Gaming Den was created by Arthur and his son Isaac after seeing the need for a welcoming space for people within the autistic spectrum who have struggles getting out of the house.

The Gaming Den was inspired by Arthur's Co-owner and son who experiences the daily struggles associated with autism. Isaac loves to play computer games and had the idea to share his passions with others. Together they came up with The Gaming Den , a safe and welcoming environment to not only have fun but also to build social skills.

OUR GAMES

With over 350 PC Games, 2 Racing Simulators and 2 Vr Headsets with over 90 PC VR Games, we have something for every gamer

"The Gaming Den gave me a safe environment to engage with other people in a way that I was never able to before"

"The Gaming Den is an amazing place! Everyone is so nice and you can really get in your zone. It's a really enjoyable place... 5 STARS!"

"My son first started coming to The Gaming Den about 3 years ago. It has been exciting to see how my son has grown and changed over this time, and I can confidently say that his enthusiasm to come to The Gaming Den, and the friends he has made there, have had a really positive influence on his life. He is more confident, trying new things and not stuck at home refusing to go out. I can't thank the team here enough for all they have done."

In Australia there are over 4.4 Million people living with some form of disability.

One of the major struggles for many of us is finding the right services when we need them. That's why we deliver the largest Disability and NDIS related expos in Australia, to help connect participants and service providers and make this whole process easier.

We never do just booths and pamphlets. Our expos are huge community events with entertainment and a variety of things to do for adults, families, children, carers and guardians. Many people come both days to see everything on hand with over 200 exhibitors featuring NDIS Service Providers, Allied Health, Early Intervention, Resource and Equipment Suppliers, Home and Community Services and Disability/Complex Case Services for adults and children. Many services also support carers, participants over 65yo, families and private options for those not accessing NDIS.

One of the main attractions is where we'll have over 20 NDIS experts on hand to answer questions and give you real time solutions. Don't forget our Main Entertainment Zone where there will be an interactive dance performance every 30 minutes, so come on down and get involved in everything from art therapy, exercise and dance classes.

There are also an additional four entertainment zones, providing everything from hair braiding, balloon artists, face painters and even a jumping castle - loads of fun to be had.

NDIS participants in Australia need access to support services and information about providers and the services they offer. That demand is only increasing each year with the addition of approved Disabilities under the NDIS scheme in a growing market.

Community events, like the Brisbane Disability Connection Expo 2025 sponsored by GNA Services are essential to bring participants and providers together to find SOLUTIONS and increase real CHOICE and CONTROL.

Participants require a place where they can gain access to all of the information they require plus options they weren't aware of - or didn't think of. They need transparency and a way to gain access to knowledge in an environment that is fun, inclusive and community focused.
If that's not enough, first 50 people each day will receive a FREE coffee, so get in early, grab a tasty treat and settle in for the day.
Whether you're a participant, provider, carer, guardian or family member, you're invited to Queensland's biggest disability and NDIS related event of 2025.

Register now, invite a friend, spread the word and make the most of this amazing community event. We will see you there!

Non-Attendance and Cancellation Fees
Please provide 24-hours notice to prevent a cancellation fee if you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellation fees do not attract a Medicare rebate and must be paid in full prior to your next appointment.

Please refer to our cancellation policy below, effective 1 st October 2024 :

1.Cancelling an appointment with less notice than specified above incurs a cancellation fee equal to the consultation fee, which is NOT CLAIMABLE THROUGH MEDICARE.

2. Failing to attend a confirmed appointment attracts a cancellation fee equal to the consultation fee, which is NOT CLAIMABLE THROUGH MEDICARE.

3. Non-attendance, or cancellation of an initial appointment with less than 24-hours notice will result in forfeiture of the deposit paid for that appointment slot. If a further initial appointment is made, this will require a new deposit to be paid.

It is the patient's responsibility to contact the clinic to reschedule after cancelling or failing to attend an appointment. Thank you for your understanding.

ADHD Treatment Restrictions
Our senior registrars can currently only accept a limited number of new referrals for patients in need of ADHD assessments. The IAP also has restricted capacity to take on referrals for ADHD assessments and your referral may be returned due to this reason.
Senior Registrars cannot delegate authority to prescribe
Please be aware that senior registrars are currently unable to delegate the authority to prescribe stimulant medications to general practitioners. Patients who wish their GP to be able to prescribe their stimulant medication are advised to request a referral to see a consultant psychiatrist.
The Toowong Specialist Clinic's Improved Access Program (IAP) is a service that offers patients access to high-quality, affordable private psychiatric treatment with Senior Training Registrars.

The Toowong Specialist Clinic has been granted accreditation by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists as Queensland's first private outpatient training facility for Advanced Psychiatric Trainees. This Advanced Trainee will have undertaken all of the assessments required in order to be able to proceed to advanced training, have interest and aptitude in private practice psychiatry, and will usually be within twelve months of achieving their RANZCP Fellowship.
There are a number of benefits of the Improved Access Program:

1.

Cost as of August 2024

There will only be a $75 out-of-pocket cost per appointment after the Medicare rebate.

The cost from August 2024 of an initial appointment with a Senior Registrar is $197.25 with a Medicare rebate of $122.25. Follow up appointments are $140.35 with a rebate of $65.35, leaving you $75 out-of-pocket after Medicare rebate. Payment in full is required at the time of appointment and we can assist you in claiming your Medicare rebate.

Cancellation fee is the full cost of your consultation and will be charged for a no-show or if patients cancel within 24 hours.

2.

Quality of Care

As multiple registrars apply for this position each year, we are able to personally and individually select excellent Advanced Trainees who wish to transition to private practice as a consultant, and who we are confident will be a "good fit" for our service, and excellent treating practitioners for our patients.

All patients will have their treatment under the direct clinical supervision of either Dr Brad Matthews or Dr Jon-Paul Khoo.

Continuity of care will be available, as the Advanced Trainee who initially treats patients will be available for ongoing care as a consultant in the future, if required.

3.

Access & Community Need

The program allows access to care for patients that might otherwise fall outside of the criteria set down by public health services for mental health treatment, and might be considered in need of specialty assistance beyond what the treating general practitioner might feel confident in providing.

In this way, our goal is to, in a broader and more meaningful manner, address the unmet mental health needs of our community.

It should be noted that this service is designed around access to affordable outpatient care, and we cannot directly accept referrals for inpatient care through this program.

When the Advanced Trainee attains full specialist qualifications, they will continue to consult with patients under their clinical care, but the fee structure will revert to our Clinic's usual consultant billing policies.

For an appointment with one of our Senior Registrars, simply request a referral marked to the Improved Access Program from your GP.
Senior Registrars currently on our Improved Access Program:

Dr Claire McNaught

Dr Wajeeha Zagham

Dr Greg Watson

Dr Tomas Heard

Dr Maria Jolayemi
