Fees & Funding
At Speech For The Stars, we follow the NDIS Price Guide for all clients. Therapy sessions are billed at $193.99 per hour. This includes 45 minutes of direct therapy and 15 minutes of additional administrative tasks (such as session planning, collating of resources for home practice, follow up with other professionals or services). Please note that standardised assessments and reports will incur additional fees.
Speech For The Stars offers a variety of funding options to assist you in accessing speech pathology services for your child:
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Speech For The Stars accepts NDIS participants who have self-managed or plan-managed NDIS funds. We can assist you to access the scheme by providing you with reports and supporting documentation.
Medicare
Medicare provides a rebate for allied health services under the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. Through this plan your child may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to 5 speech pathology services per calendar year. For more information or to determine your child’s eligibility, please contact your GP.
Private Health Fund
Speech Pathology assessment and therapy services can be claimed through private health insurance under extras cover. The rebate amount and number of sessions covered will be dependent on the health fund and individual level of cover. Please consult your private health fund for further information.
Travel Fees
Mobile services will incur an additional travel fee dependent on your location.
Cancellation Policy
In the event that you are required to cancel an appointment, you must notify us via phone 48 hours (2 business days) prior to your appointment to avoid a cancellation fee. In the event that you cancel your appointment with less than 48 hours (2 business days) notice or you are a ‘no show’ for the appointment, you will be charged 100% of the full consultation fee. Outstanding cancellation fees must be paid to maintain ongoing services.
Please note: We do not accept NDIA-managed participants.
