Funding for Your ADHD Training

Investing in ADHD training or coaching is one of the most impactful steps you can take—for yourself, your family, or your organisation.

At Willful Steps, we’re committed to making our evidence-based programs accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve gathered the latest information on funding options available for individuals, families, and businesses.

How Can You Fund ADHD Training or Coaching?

For Individuals and Families

• NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)

  • If you or your child have an NDIS plan, you may be able to use your funding for ADHD coaching, capacity building, or skill development supports. Willful Steps can provide documentation and guidance to help you apply or claim for our services.

• Medicare Rebates & Private Health

  • Some psychological and allied health services may be eligible for Medicare rebates or private health insurance claims. Check with your GP or provider about eligibility, and ask us for a detailed invoice to support your claim.

• Community Grants & Scholarships

  • Local councils, community groups, and ADHD advocacy organisations sometimes offer grants or scholarships for families seeking support or training. We can help you identify and apply for these opportunities.

For Businesses and Organisations

• Employment Assistance Fund (EAF)

  • The EAF helps employers fund disability awareness and neurodiversity training, including ADHD-specific workshops and coaching for staff. Eligible businesses and not-for-profits can apply for up to $1,610 per employee per year for mental health and neurodiversity training.

• State and Federal Grants

  • Many states offer inclusion, diversity, and mental health grants that can be used for workplace ADHD training. We can help you identify relevant grants and provide supporting materials for your application.

• Tax Deductions

  • ADHD training and coaching are often tax-deductible as professional development or business expenses. Consult your accountant or tax advisor to maximise your entitlements.

• Corporate Sponsorship and Philanthropy

  • Larger organisations may be able to access sponsorship or philanthropic funding for inclusion and wellbeing initiatives. We can assist with proposal templates and impact statements.

For Volunteer and Community Organisations

• Disability and Inclusion Grants

  • Many local, state, and national programs provide funding for volunteer groups to access training that builds inclusive capacity. We can help you navigate these options and prepare your application.

• Fundraising and Community Support

  • Crowdfunding, local fundraising events, and donations can also be used to cover the cost of training. We’re happy to provide promotional materials and support your efforts.
