Payments and Rebates
Costs
The cost of the initial consultation and ongoing therapy may vary depending on your child’s needs. Private health and Medicare rebates are available.
The amount that you are reimbursed from your Private Health Fund will depend on your level of cover and your fund provider. Please consult your provider.
Medicare rebates are available through care plans provided to you by your GP or Paediatrician.
The Chronic Disease Management plan (formally known as the Enhanced Primary Care plan), entitles you to up to five partially subsidised sessions.
The Mental Health Care Plan is part of the Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative whereby you receive up to 10 partially-subsidised sessions per calendar year.
Not all children are eligible for these plans, so please discuss these with your OT or GP to determine your eligibility.
