Funding Options

Sally Venus Speech Pathology welcomes children who are participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Services may be available for:
Self-managed participants
Plan-managed participants
Speech pathology supports are provided in line with the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
-
Some children may be eligible for Medicare rebates through a referral from their GP under a Chronic Condition Management Plan (formerly Enhanced Primary Care Plan) or the M10 Medicare program. The M10 plan provides a rebate for Speech Pathology services for children who present with:
Speech sound disorders
Stuttering
Cleft lip and/or palate.
Both of these Medicare programs require a referral from your GP or medical specialist. Medicare rebates are paid directly to you after payment of the session fee.
-
Many private health insurance providers offer rebates for speech pathology services under extras cover.
As rebate amounts vary between funds and policies, we recommend contacting your health insurer directly to confirm your level of cover.

Families are welcome to access services privately without a referral.
