National Disability Insurance Scheme Participants

For NDIS participants who have self managed or plan managed funding we are able to provide speech pathology services that are approved under their individual NDIS plan.

 

Services will be charged at the fee in the service agreement which will be developed by the participant, caregiver and Jane once therapy needs are understood.

Private Health Cover 

Some private health fund extras policies cover Speech Pathology services. Each fund and the level of your cover is individual in the amount of refund they offer and any annual limit. It is advised you contact your health insurer to confirm your entitlements. 

 

Accounts must be paid in full immediately following the session and then a receipt will be emailed to allow you to claim your rebate from your health insurer. 

 

Medicare - Chronic Disease Management Plan

Caregivers of children with chronic conditions or complex care needs can have access to rebates for up to 5 visits per calendar year to an allied health provider. A GP is required to complete a GP Management Plan and make a referral beforehand. There will be a gap payment which the family will need to cover. 

 

Medicare Rebate for Item number 10970 - Speech Pathology: $60.35 (as of 3/12/24)

 

Accounts must be paid in full immediately following the session and then a receipt will be emailed to allow you to claim your rebate from Medicare online or in person.
