Need Help with Funding?

Being a parent can be stressful enough, but having to think about the costs of therapy programs for your child can be even more frustrating and disheartening especially when you know this is what your child needs but you just can’t afford it. Here are some avenues to explore when seeking help in funding:

National Disability Insurance Scheme

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides Early Childhood funding for children 0-7y with developmental delays so they can access the therapy services they need. For children over the age of 7 and adults up to the age of 65, funding from NDIS is limited to those with permanent and significant disabilities. Visit http://www.ndis.gov.au/ to learn more about NDIS eligibility for support funding.

Please note that SeeChange Therapy provides NDIS services to clients who are Plan Managed or Self Managed only. For clients with NDIS plans that are agency managed, please speak with your ECEI planner or LAC to arrange your child’s NDIS plan management. Children from 0-6 years who have a developmental delay or disability can access funding support through the NDIS Early Childhood Early Intervention partner Northcott. For more information please visit https://northcott.com.au/ndis-early-childhood-early-intervention-ecei/

Medicare

If you have Medicare and a referral from a GP or Paediatrician under the Mental Health Care Plan or Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP), we may be able to assist you in getting a rebate on your allied health services and treatment with SeeChange Therapy.

Private Health Insurance

Certain private health insurers cover ancillary or extras that may include therapy. We advise you to contact your private health insurer to gain more information.
