Speech pathology is expensive and the funding system is genuinely confusing. This page explains every pathway, including the ones most families are never told about.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Every fee here is the fee you actually pay, before any rebate. Our rates sit at or below the NDIS price limit for speech pathology, which is why NDIS-funded families pay no gap.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We are a registered provider. Plan-managed and NDIA-managed plans are invoiced directly — nothing for you to pay or claim. Self-managed families pay us and claim it back. We charge at the NDIS price limit, not above it, so there is no gap. Report writing for plan reviews is billed at the NDIS rate and quoted first.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ask your GP about a Chronic Disease Management plan. If your child qualifies, it gives five rebated allied health sessions a calendar year at about $60 back each. There is also a Helping Children pathway worth up to twenty rebated sessions, which needs a paediatrician referral. Very few parents are told this exists.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Most extras policies rebate $40 to $70 a session with an annual cap. You cannot claim Medicare and private health for the same session — we will work out which is worth more for your policy and use that one first.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
