Funding & Rebates
We believe every child should have access to the speech pathology services they need. We understand that financial support can make a big difference, which is why we provide guidance on a range of rebates and funded programs, including Medicare rebates and NDIS support. Below, you’ll find detailed information about eligibility and the programs we participate in, helping you and your family access the services your child requires.
1
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
The NDIS is a nationwide funding program designed to support individuals with disabilities. The NDIS Early Childhood Approach specifically assists children under six with developmental delays, as well as children under nine with disabilities, and their families in accessing the right support when needed.
We offer services for NDIS participants, whether they are self-managed or plan-managed.
2
Private & Medicare Funding
We provide services to privately funded clients and those holding Medicare referrals from their GP. Your child may be eligible for Medicare rebates through the following programs:
-
Chronic Disease Management Plan
-
Helping Children with Autism
-
Better Start Initiative
If you're unsure about your child's eligibility, we recommend discussing it with your GP.

Private Health Insurance
If you hold private health insurance, you may be eligible to claim a rebate for speech pathology services depending on your fund and level of coverage. Please check with your private health fund to see if you are eligible for rebates. To assist with this, the following item numbers can help your fund determine coverage:
-
320 – Speech Pathology Assessment
