At LS Health Services, we aim to be transparent about our fees while providing high-quality care.

  •  Speech Pathology & Occupational Therapy clinician rate: $193.99 per hour

  •  Standard clinician appointment rate: $226.32 – $242.48
    (Includes 50 minutes of direct clinician time + 20–25 minutes of preparation and follow-up)

    (Includes 50 minutes of AHA session time, 20 minutes of indirect AHA time, and 15 minutes for clinician review and goal setting)

We tailor sessions to suit individual needs. This might mean shorter or longer sessions, extra preparation time, or additional services like new assessments or reports. For details on all fees, including travel, please see our Resources page.

 

💳 Funding Options

Our services may be accessed under several funding schemes:

  •  Medicare: Clinicians (excluding AHA) are registered providers. Rebates may be available under Enhanced Primary Care Plans or Team Care Arrangements from your GP.
    Note: We do not bulk bill; gap payments apply.

  •  Private Health: Services by Medicare-registered clinicians (excluding AHA) may also be claimed through your private health fund. Check your policy for coverage.

  •  NDIS: Services for self-managed and plan-managed participants of all ages. Agency-managed plans are not available.

  • DVA: Requires prior approval and GP referral before services start (excludes AHA).

  •  Work Cover: Claim number and forms must be sent before your session (excludes AHA).

 

💳 Payments

  • Private, Medicare & Private Health clients: Payment required on the day. Pay via HICAPS. Cash not accepted. Rebates can be processed at the clinic or receipts provided for self-claiming.

  • NDIS self-managed clients: Pay at the clinic via HICAPS or bank transfer after claiming.

  • NDIS plan-managed clients: Provide your plan manager’s details before your first session. Invoices sent directly to them.

 

📅 Cancellation Policy

We understand that sometimes life gets in the way.

  • 48–24 hours before session: 50% cancellation fee

  • Under 24 hours: 100% cancellation fee

 

Rescheduling is possible, but cancellation fees may still apply depending on timing.

To avoid cancellation fees, we may offer alternative options:

  • 🏠 Home resource packs

  • 💻 Telehealth sessions

  • 📞 Phone consultations

  • 🤝 Stakeholder meetings

 

Alternative services will be discussed with your clinician to find the best option.

Extenuating circumstances may allow fees to be waived, but this requires management approval. Please contact the clinic to discuss.
