Funding & Rebates

Therapy may be covered or part-covered under certain government schemes. All Abilities is proud to be able to provide services through the following finding and subsidy options:
Medicare Referral
To receive services under Medicare you will require a referral from a General Practitioner, Paediatrician, or Psychiatrist. These medical practitioners will first assess your health needs to ensure a referral to a psychologist or allied health professional is most appropriate for you. Then they will arrange a referral, for which you may state you would prefer a particular psychologist or allied health professional, however the medical practitioner has the final say whom they refer you to.
  • The current rebate for a 1-hour Psychology session is around $86.
  • The current rebate for a 1-hour Speech or OT session is around $52.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
If you have a NDIS funding package (either from Queensland or Interstate), we are able to provide services and therapies under this scheme.

WE WORK WITH:

  • Self-Managed clients (you pay and claim it back yourself)
  • Plan Managed clients (a third party pays your invoices for you)

Helping Children with Autism (HCWA) and Better Start for Children with a Disability (better start)
