If you plan to access speech therapy under a Medicare scheme you will require a referral from you GP or paediatrician.
Here is a list of the most common funding options that may help make speech therapy more affordable for adults and children.
Private Health Rebates
If you have private health insurance with extras cover, your health fund may provide a rebate for speech therapy.
Rebate amounts vary between funds, it is best to contact your health fund directly to confirm:
- if your plan covers speech therapy
- the amount you can claim per session
- the annual limit for speech therapy services
Medicare
Medicare offers several programs that may provide rebates for adults and children requiring speech therapy. Your GP or paediatrician will determine eligibility and issue a referral if appropriate.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
I support self-managed NDIS clients across all ages. (I am not NDIS-registered so agency-managed plans are unable to be used)
NDIS participants will need to pay for sessions at the time of your appointment and lodge a reimbursement through the NDIS for out of pocket costs.
