2. NDIS

I offer services for NDIS participants who are either plan managed or self-managed. Unfortunately, I am not currently able to support NDIA-managed participants. Voice and Wellness Speech Pathology follows the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.

• Assessment, therapy, admin and report writing

  • $193.99 per hour.

• Travel fees

  • Calculated based on travel time and distance in accordance with the latest NDIS pricing arrangements and $97 cap.

  • (Distance is charged at $1 per km)

  • Example:
    If you live 20 km away (40 km round trip) and the travel time is 40 minutes each way:

    • Time: Maximum billable = $97.00

    • Distance: 40 km × $1.00 = $40.00

    • Total travel fee = $137.00

​

3. Medicare

If you are eligible for a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP), you may be able to claim a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per calendar year. A referral from your GP is required, and we’ll need a copy of the plan before sessions can be invoiced under this arrangement. Payment of the full session fee is required on the day, you can then claim the rebate directly from Medicare using the receipt provided.

​

 

4. Workers Compensation

Speech pathology services are available under WorkCover for clients who have sustained a work-related injury and have received appropriate approval. A referral from your GP or treating specialist is required, along with prior authorisation from your insurer or case manager.

Once approved, services are generally paid directly by the insurer, meaning there are usually no out-of-pocket costs for clients. WorkCover fees are aligned with the standard private fee schedule.

​

​

5. Health Insurance

If you have private health cover that includes speech pathology, you may be able to claim a rebate for your sessions. Fees are aligned with the standard private fee schedule. The rebate amount will depend on your level of cover and your individual policy. Clients are required to pay the full session fee on the day, and can then submit their receipt directly to their health fund to receive any eligible rebate. It is your responsibility to confirm your rebate entitlements with your insurer.
