Fee information

We are a fee-for-service practice (we do not bulk bill), and payment for sessions is required on the day of service (except for Holiday Friendship Groups, which are paid for as a package). Most of our therapists are Medicare providers, which means that substantial rebates are available from Medicare. Private Health Fund rebates may also apply. Fees vary slightly between our diverse team, so it is important to discuss fees with your allocated therapist or with our administration team.

Medicare and Government-funded programs:

The Crisalida team are eligible for a wide variety of Medicare-rebated therapy sessions, as well as private Health Fund rebates (check with your individual health fund).

Crisalida is an NDIS Provider for Therapeutic Supports if you are NDIA managed. If you are self managed or plan managed, we are able to see you for therapeutic supports and early childhood intervention services as well. For more information and to see if you are eligible for NDIS funding please go to www.NDIS.gov.au

The Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from a Medical Practitioner directed to Crisalida/individual therapist name can offer up to ten individual and ten group therapy sessions per calendar year. See the Australian Government website on the Better Access to Mental Health Scheme.

The Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan, formerly known as Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC), from a GP, allows clients five rebated sessions per calander year. This plan encourages the establishment of multidisciplinary team care arrangements to provide shared care for clients with a chronic medical condition and complex care needs. To be eligible, there needs to be at least two allied health professionals involved. You can use the five sessions for one therapist or split the sessions between different therapists. Our speech pathologists, occupational therapists and psychologists can provide individual services under this plan, however if there is a need for a range of services, we often recommend this plan be used for speech therapy. See the Department of Health and Aged Care’s website here for further information.

The Helping Children with Autism Plan, under a referral from your Paediatrician or Psychiatrist, can offer up to four assessment rebated sessions and 20 rebated therapy sessions. The assessment sessions must be completed before the child's 13th birthday, and the therapy sessions must be completed before the child's 15th birthday. See the Government HCWA fact sheet.

The Medicare Safety Net provides financial assistance for those families with high out-of-pocket medical expenses.
