Fees and payments

We offer services for all members of the community. Some of our services prioritise access to people and families with greater health, economic and social needs. We set the costs of our services based on income ranges. These income ranges are based on the Centrelink Income Test for pensioners. See our current income tables.

A small gap payment applies if you are on a low income or have a valid Health Care Card.

If you are on a medium or high income, please refer to the fee and funding options table. There are multiple funding options including:

• Medicare rebates
• private health insurance rebates
• Helping Children with Autism (HCWA)
• NDIS funding under clients’ NDIS plans

Medicare on line and individual private health insurers can provide more information about available rebates
