Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM)/Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC)

It consists of 5 (maximum) rebates per calendar year for Allied Health services (i.e. Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Osteopathy). If you are accessing more than one type of therapy you are entitled to share the CDM sessions across the therapists (i.e. not 5 rebates per service).

The Mental Health Plan (MHP) is a Medicare-rebated funding program for people who have mental health conditions (anxiety, depression etc.) It consists of up to 10 rebates per calendar year for Occupational Therapy and Psychology services. An extension of 4 further sessions can be applied for by your Psychologist or Occupational Therapist in extreme circumstances.
Private Health Insurance
Some of the costs of therapy may be rebated by your private health fund. Please contact your individual fund as to whether you are eligible for a rebate.
Workcover and TAC
Workcover and TAC may provide funding for you to access our services. Please let us know when you call if you are planning on using this funding to pay for therapy services as there may be a gap payment required.

If eligible there are 4 levels of home care packages from level 1 for basic care needs to level 4 for high care needs.
