At Together We Grow Kids OT, we support families through a range of funding options. Here's how the main ones work, though it's always worth checking your own eligibility, as everyone's situation is different.

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)

We provide services to NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed. If your child has occupational therapy funded in their plan, you can use it towards assessment and therapy with us.

Medicare

Together We Grow Kids OT is a registered Medicare provider. Eligible clients may be able to claim a rebate for occupational therapy under:

Privately funded

You're also welcome to access our services privately, without needing a plan or referral in place. This can be a simple way to get started while other funding is being organised.

That's completely understandable, and you don't need to have it worked out before you reach out. We're happy to talk it through and point you in the right direction. See our full list of services →
