Fees & funding
No surprises
Our rates are published, our funding pathways are explained in plain English, and everything is agreed in writing before we start. If cost is a barrier, tell us — we'd rather have that conversation than lose you.
Our rates
All fees include session time, preparation, and the notes and communication that go with it.

Therapy fees are set at the Occupational Therapy price limits in the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, being $193.99 an hour. Prices are the same rate whatever the payment method.
Clinical supervision is a service for other therapists rather than for participants, so no NDIS item applies to it and it is priced separately.
Fees are reviewed each July, when the price limits are updated. Any change is communicated in writing before it takes effect.
How people pay
Most families use one of these pathways, and some use more than one. If you're not sure which applies to you, ask — we'll work it out together.
NDIS
We are not an NDIS-registered provider, so we work with participants who control their own funding — self-managed and plan-managed. If your plan is NDIA-managed (agency-managed), that funding can only be spent with registered providers, so we would not be able to invoice it. Our therapy fees sit at the 2026-27 NDIS price limit of $193.99 an hour, and never above it.
- Plan-managed: we invoice your plan manager directly
- Self-managed: we invoice you, and you claim through the portal
- NDIA-managed: we cannot invoice agency-managed plans — talk to us about switching, or about seeing us privately
- A service agreement is set up before we start, so costs are agreed in writing
Medicare
With a GP referral under a GP chronic condition management plan (GPCCMP), you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to five allied health sessions per calendar year.
- You need a referral from your GP before the first session
- The rebate covers part of the fee — the difference is the gap you pay
- We can process the rebate for you at the time of the appointment
- Five sessions per year is a Medicare limit, not a clinical one
Health funds
Most private health policies cover occupational therapy under their extras, so your fund pays part of each session back to you. How much depends on your fund, your level of cover and how much of your annual limit you have used.
- Occupational therapy sits under extras cover, not hospital cover
- Check your policy names occupational therapy — some extras cover physio and chiro but not OT
- Pay for the session as usual, then claim the rebate back from your fund
- We give you a receipt with our provider details, the item and the date — everything the fund asks for
- A session already paid for by NDIS or a Medicare rebate cannot also be claimed from your fund
Self Funded
You can see us privately with no referral and no waiting for funding approval. Many families start here while an NDIS application is in progress.
- No referral needed
- Nothing to apply for, and no waiting on an approval
- Payment is due at the time of the session
- We can provide receipts suitable for claiming
