NDIS
I can work with you if you self-manage or use a registered plan manager for your NDIS funding. Please get in touch to confirm the relevant details.
There is no out-of-pocket cost for you. My fees are within the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. Specifically, capacity building supports for Occupational Therapists delivering Early Childhood Supports (younger than 7) and Assessment Recommendation Therapy or Training (7 or older). This is reviewed periodically.
All invoices are to be settled at the time of the appointment preferably. You will then be provided with a receipt to make a claim with the NDIS.
Private Health Insurance
Your private health insurance may provide a rebate for Occupational Therapy sessions. Please contact your private health insurer to confirm your level of cover, rebate for occupational therapy and how to claim.
All invoices are to be settled at the time of the appointment. You will then be provided with a receipt to make a claim with your private health insurer. Please note that you cannot claim a Medicare rebate at the same time.
