Making informed tertiary study decisions.

The TTFP is for people with or without disability who want clearer information to support informed planning for tertiary study or training.

It is designed for secondary school students planning their transition from school and mature students considering a return to study or training.

The profile provides practical information about career pathway fit, study participation and sustainability, and readiness for study to support planning before significant time, money and energy are committed to a pathway.

Where disability-related adaptive functioning is relevant, the assessment approach is informed by the referral information, supporting documentation and the Occupational Therapist’s clinical judgement.

The TTFP is an Occupational Therapist-led functional profile that brings together information across Career Pathway Fit, Study Participation and Sustainability, and Readiness for Study.

It identifies participation patterns, potential pressure points, and practical strategies or conditions for consideration or trial to support informed planning for tertiary study or training.

Where disability-related functioning is relevant, it is considered within the context of tertiary transition planning. The TTFP is non-diagnostic and non-therapeutic, is not a Functional Capacity and Support Needs Assessment, and does not determine funded disability support needs.

The total TTFP service fee is $1,544.00. The service is GST-free, and no GST is included in the fee.

The fee covers the complete three-pillar TTFP service, including Clinical Review, Interpretation, Synthesis and Report Writing.

The pillars are not separately priced and cannot be purchased individually.

The TTFP may be considered for NDIS funding where it is relevant to the participant’s disability-related needs, supports a relevant employment, work or study-related NDIS goal, and is appropriate to the participant’s plan and circumstances.

Potential claiming pathways are limited to:

• Finding and Keeping a Job: 10_617_0128_5_3_NF, Employment Therapy - Occupational Therapist - Non-Face-to-Face

• Improved Daily Living Skills: 15_617_0128_1_3_NF, Therapy - Occupational Therapist - Non-Face-to-Face

Depending on the participant’s funding arrangements, the TTFP may be invoiced under either support item or apportioned across both.

The participant-specific funding position should be confirmed with the participant’s Plan Manager and/or Local Area Coordinator before proceeding. Further enquiries may also be made directly with the NDIS where clarification is required.

If the participant does not currently have a relevant employment, work or study-related NDIS goal, or requires supporting documentation when seeking funding for the TTFP, Tertiary Transition may be able to provide a support letter where clinically appropriate. Relevant information can be provided through the referral form.

Tertiary Transition is not a registered NDIS provider and accepts NDIS-funded referrals from self-managed and plan-managed participants only.
