What is an Approved Provider?
An Approved Provider is a Registered Play Therapist who has met the rigorous standards established by our Board of Directors. These standards align with our charitable obligations and purpose set by the ACNC, ensuring that the services funded are evidence-based and provided by experienced and qualified and play therapists.

Approved Providers must agree to these guidelines.
Session fees are set and are not negotiable.

What happens next?
Once we receive your application and all required documents, it will be reviewed at our next monthly board meeting, which may take up to 4 weeks.
If your application is approved: you'll become part of our Approved Provider list. You will receive a graphic to display on your website and socials. Once there is a Future Fund recipient in your area, you will be matched with them to begin their Play Therapy journey. From there you will complete the intake, weekly sessions and updates and invoice Play Therapy Foundation fortnightly.
​
If your application is not approved: you will receive an email explaining the decision and outlining the next steps. Allocation is contingent on meeting the specified criteria and can be re-submitted once the criteria has been met.
