Frequently Asked Questions

Our sessions are billed at the hourly rate of $193.99 which is based on the NDIS Price Guide 2023-2024. All sessions include 45 minutes of face to face time in clinic with your therapist and 15 minutes of non face to face time for out of session work including tasks such as note preparation, analysing data, reviewing session progress, and goal refining and review. Our assessments, reporting and non face to face time are also billed at $193.99 per hour, with assessments ranging from 2hrs to 3.5hrs of clinician time (phone call, 60 minutes in clinic, reporting).

Assessments typically involved a pre-assessment phone call with your therapist, an appointment in clinic and a summary or assessment report depending on the extent of assessment undertaken in the initial appointment and subsequent appointments.

Therapy sessions are generally 45-60minutes in duration in clinic

We have a 48 hour cancellation policy, your therapist will offer other options in the event you need to cancel within this time including a parent only, telehealth if appropriate, resource making, and reporting.

Private health is an option and we have facilities to be able to put a claim through on the day. You can enquire with your private health fund in regards to amount your fund will cover so you are aware of the gap payment. You cannot use private health and Medicare for the same appointment.

Medicare will cover a portion of the session fee for up to 5 sessions in a calendar year. You GP will recommend up to 5 sessions that you can use for your appointments. Payment of the full fee is required on the day and then a Medicare rebate is processed for you (approximately $60, you can access Medicare Benefits Scheme information here on rebates for 10970 for SLP & 10958 for OT)
