    Fee Schedule

    To ensure consistent and fair pricing for all, our fees are consistent across all funding types – NDIS, Medicare, private.
    Please contact us for assessment pricing.
    Note: It is your responsibility to confirm with the relevant provider whether any Medicare rebate/private health insurance is applicable.
    For self-managed NDIS participants and private clients (include Medicare referrals) we require a debit/credit card to be stored on file for automatic payment at the commencement of the appointment. A paid invoice (receipt) will then be emailed to you.
    Invoices will be sent out for any non face to face appointment items for manual payment.
    For plan-managed NDIS participants we will email your invoice directly to your plan manager for payment.

    Non Face to Face Supports

    Non Face to Face Supports

    Time spent on ‘non-face-to-face supports’ that contribute towards the achievement of the participant’s goals will be invoiced separately to direct face to face supports.

    • Time spent communicating (including verbally, emails, phone calls, reports etc) with co-workers as part of a multidisciplinary team working with a child.
    • Time spent communicating with external service providers e.g. early educator/teacher, GP, paediatrician, external therapy providers, NDIS coordinator/planner.
    • Specific resource development for home use e.g. communication placemats, visual schedules etc.
    • Time spent analysing and interpreting clinical assessment data, and research undertaken which is specifically linked to the needs of a participant and to the achievement of the participant’s goals (e.g. researching options for assistive technology).

    This list is not exhaustive, but represents the kind of activities that constitute non-face-to-face supports.
    These items are charged at the same hourly rate as direct face to face supports, as per the table above.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancelled appointments are a loss to three people:

    • The client who is delaying their therapy progress
    • Another client who has been waiting to see a therapist urgently
    • The therapist who has spent time and effort preparing for the session

    In the event that less than 2 business days’ notice is given to reschedule or cancel an appointment, or a scheduled appointment is not attended, the normal consultation fee will be charged.

    For NDIS clients, as we hold your appointment day/time indefinitely, 2 long-notice cancellations will be permitted per quarter - frequent cancellations may lead to your appointment day/time changing or ongoing services being cancelled, to be fair to other clients waiting.
