Medicare Rebates

Medicare rebates for therapy services

Some clients may be eligible for Medicare rebates through a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP) plan.
A CDMP or M10 referral is provided by a GP and may allow eligible clients to access a Medicare rebate for allied health services.

How it works

If your GP believes therapy services may support your child or family member’s needs, they can provide a referral under a Chronic Disease Management Plan or M10 plan.

Eligible clients may receive a Medicare rebate for a limited number of therapy sessions each calendar year.

Important information

If you’re unsure whether your child may be eligible, our team is happy to help guide you through the process.

Private health
rebates available

Many private health funds provide rebates for speech pathology and occupational therapy services.

The rebate amount will depend on your individual level of cover and provider.

What you may be able to claim

Private health rebates may apply to:

  • Speech pathology appointments
  • Occupational therapy appointments
  • Assessments
  • Telehealth services

Checking your cover

We recommend contacting your private health provider directly to confirm:

  • Your level of cover

Our team can also provide invoices and receipts required for claiming.
