Understanding funding shouldn’t require a dictionary.
Clear, plain-language information about how services at LifeCare can be funded. We don’t make definitive eligibility claims — we help you understand the options and work out what applies to your situation.
NDIS
We work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants where services align with the participant’s plan goals, funding category and clinician scope. Service suitability depends on your individual plan — our intake team can help you understand whether we’re the right fit.
LifeCare Allied Health is a fictional demonstration practice. Funding arrangements shown are examples only.
Private Clients
Families can access services privately without NDIS funding. Our team can talk through session fees and what’s involved so you can decide what works for your situation.
Medicare
Some psychology and allied-health services may be eligible for Medicare rebates with an appropriate referral from a GP or paediatrician, where relevant. Rebate availability depends on the service, the referral and current Medicare arrangements.
Private Health
Depending on your policy and insurer, rebates may be available through private health insurance for some allied-health services. We recommend checking with your fund directly.
Reports and Assessments
Where a report or formal assessment is requested, our team will let you know what’s involved, the cost and the expected timeframe. We’re transparent about what’s included and why.
Travel
For home, school and community visits, travel arrangements and any associated costs are discussed and agreed before appointments are booked.
Cancellation Fees
We ask for notice where possible so we can offer the appointment to another family. Our cancellation policy is shared with you at intake so there are no surprises.
