Funding options

I believe good mental health care should be within reach for everyone — not just those who can easily afford it.

 

Private paying

No referral needed — you're welcome to book directly as a private client. Private health insurance rebates may also apply depending on your level of cover. Flexible session lengths (30 and 50 minutes) mean you can choose what fits your needs and budget.

Medicare - Mental health care plan

With a GP referral and Mental Health Care Plan, you can access Allied Health Medicare rebates for sessions with me. Occupational therapists are registered Allied Health providers under the Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative — so yes, your OT sessions are Medicare-eligible. Rebates are available for eligible clients per calendar year. Both 30-minute and 50-minute sessions are covered. You claim rebates directly through Medicare — I'll provide the receipt you need.

NDIS funding

I work with plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants. Mental health OT support is typically funded under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living. Sessions can be delivered via telehealth from anywhere in Australia, or as home visits in the Essendon and greater Melbourne area. Before your first session, I'll need your NDIS number, current plan details, and your plan manager's contact if applicable.

Accessible care

If you hold a concession card or are under financial pressure, please reach out. I'm genuinely happy to talk through what options might be available to you.
