Funding
Chronic Disease Management Plans (CDMP)
Some children may qualify for Medicare rebates through a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan arranged by their GP. Eligible clients can access up to five rebated allied health sessions each calendar year. Please speak with your doctor to discuss whether a CDM plan is appropriate for your child.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
We welcome both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants for speech pathology support.
The NDIS supports eligible individuals living with disability, including children aged 0–7 who require early intervention services.
Depending on your level of cover, your private health fund may provide rebates for speech pathology appointments. We recommend contacting your insurer directly to confirm your eligibility and available benefits.
