@eth we actually found it way less arduous a process than getting on centrelink's disability support pension, if you have any experience with that. It was a ~12 page form and most of it was for a psych and gp to fill out (mostly questions about diagnoses, prognosis, severity, symptoms, etc. Fairly standard). The bits we did fill out with our clinical manager were all focused on symptoms ("how does your illness affect your every day life?") and what areas we wanted help with (this bit was check boxes, things like getting dressed, transport, house modifications, community support, preparing food, mobility aids, etc).
The one thing we did notice was that they wanted the gp/psych to have reasonable confidence our disability would be life long, or close to it. Centrelink only wanted certainty for ~2 years.
And of course, all of this is before you even get accepted!! Once accepted there's a big process to determine what sort of funding you get, but as we mentioned we haven't actually been accepted yet so we can't advise.
Hope this helps!
