Our Fees

NDIS

We provide Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy services to NDIS participants. We see clients who are Plan-managed and Self-managed.

Private Health Insurance

Your private health insurer may offer you a rebate for Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy services. Please contact your insurer to check your level of cover.

Medicare

  • Chronic Condition Management Plan (CCMP): Your child may be eligible for a referral from your GP for a CCMP. Medicare provides a rebate ($61.80 as at 16 February 2026) for 5 sessions per calendar year - please note that the rebate does not cover the cost of the whole session. Medicare will only cover a portion of the session cost and there will still be gap payment once the rebate has been claimed.

  • M10: From March 1 2026, children with stuttering, speech sound disorders, and cleft lip or palate may be eligible for a referral from your GP for up to 28 sessions (in total across the child’s lifetime). Medicare provides a rebate ($87.25 as at 16 February 2026) for 28 sessions (8 assessments sessions and 20 treament/therapy sessions). Medicare will only cover a portion of the session cost and there will still be gap payment once the rebate has been claimed.

Please chat to your GP about these options above, send us the referral and we will handle the rest.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

The Time 2 Talk office has a HICAPS machine so we can process any payments, Private Health claims and Medicare rebates in the office. You can also lodge any claims online.

Travel will be charged depending on the time required to travel to your home/childcare/school and will be divided by the number of children seen in a location/town. Time 2 Talk’s fees are in line with the current NDIS price guide. For an up-to-date price list, please contact us.

FAQ

  • No, you do not need a referral to attend Time 2 Talk. Parents can ring us on 8391 3336 to make an appointment. A doctor referral is required however, if you wish to claim a rebate through Medicare (dependent on your child's eligibility).

  • If your cover includes Speech Pathology or Occupational Therapy, you are able to claim through your health fund. HICAPS is available at the office for immediate claiming of private health fund benefits. Also, limited rebates for speech pathology services are available through Medicare for specific client groups under a Chronic Disease Management Program (formerly Enhanced Primary Care Plan) or the Helping Children with Autism initiative. Please consult with your GP if you feel your child may qualify for this.

  • We provide an individual therapy programme for each child. The length of therapy is dependent on the nature of the child’s difficulties and the extent of these difficulties. Following your child’s assessment, recommendations for ongoing intervention will be fully discussed with you.

  • We are a paediatric practice and provide Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy services for children aged from 1-18 years of age.
