Rebates and funded programs

We are committed to ensuring that every child has access to the speech pathology services they require. We understand that financial support can play a crucial role in this journey. That's why we provide information on various rebates and funded programs available, including Medicare rebates and NDIS support. Below, you’ll find more detailed information about eligibility and the programs we participate in to help you and your family access the necessary services.

  • You or your child may be eligible for Medicare rebates through the following programs:

    • Chronic Disease Management Plan

    • Better Start Initiative

    If you're unsure about your or your child's eligibility, we recommend discussing it with your GP for further guidance

  • Private health rebates for speech pathology services may be available through your health fund. Please check with your provider regarding rebates and eligibility under your specific level of cover. To assist with this, the following item numbers can help your fund determine coverage:

    The NDIS is a nationwide funding program designed to support individuals with disabilities.

    We offer services for NDIS participants, whether they are self-managed or plan-managed.
