NDIS Funding and Rebates

---

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding options for eligible individuals with disabilities and children with developmental delays to access support and services, including essential speech pathology support. This crucial support may be available for children facing communication, language, literacy, and learning needs under NDIS funding, whether it is Self Managed or Plan Managed. Additionally, families may explore Medicare rebates and private health rebates to further assist with the costs associated with speech pathology services.

Some children may be eligible for Medicare rebates through a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan provided by their GP, which typically covers part of the session fee. Additionally, you may want to explore other funding options such as NDIS funding, private health rebates, or Medicare rebates to support speech pathology services. Please note that referral letters and relevant funding documentation are required prior to your appointment. If you are uncertain about funding options or eligibility, feel free to get in touch to discuss how therapy may be accessed for your child or family.

Families may be eligible to claim private health rebates through their private health fund, depending on their level of extras cover. Additionally, it's important to explore various funding options, including Medicare rebates and NDIS funding, for services such as speech pathology support. Please contact your individual health fund for further information regarding eligibility and rebate amounts.
