REFERRALS
Optimal Outcomes is a private occupational therapy practice. In most instances, referrals are not required unless services are being received under a Medicare plan.
FEES
Medicare Rebates
Medicare rebates are available with a referral from your GP for a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)
This will enable you to access 5 subsidised sessions per calendar year. Please note, the 5 subsidised sessions is the total number for all allied health professionals providing services under the GPCCMP. Medicare will provide a rebate of $63.40 per session.
Fee: $220/hour + travel
Gap payable after Medicare rebate: $156.60
Private Health Insurance
Families may be able to claim a rebate for occupational therapy sessions through their private health insurance. Eligibility and the amount that can be claimed will depend on the type of cover and extras. Families are advised to contact their health insurance provider for more information about cover and the claiming process.
Fee: $220/hour + travel
NDIS
The NDIS Pricing Schedule determines fees for NDIS participants.
Payment can be made using funding from self-managed or plan-managed NDIS plans. Optimal Outcomes OT is not NDIA registered and therefore does not provide services to NDIA-managed Partcipants.

Travel: $97/hour
