Funding Options
There are various funding options that may be available for therapy depending on your child's eligibility. These include the following:
-
Private health insurance
Contact your private health insurer to see if you are eligible for any rebates as each health provider has slightly different policies.
-
Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan
This is a Medicare funded scheme that provides rebates for five allied health sessions each calendar year. Speak to your GP to see if your child may be eligible.
If your child is of Indigenous descent, they may be eligible for additional Medicare rebates.
-
NDIS funding
This is a federal government initiative for children with a disability. This practice is able to see families who are self-managing or plan-managing their funds, as the practice is not currently registered with NDIS.
