National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

The NDIS provides supports to people living with a permanent and significant disability. Ramsey Speech Pathology can work with participants to achieve their goals and increase their ability to participate in everyday activities.

Ramsey Speech Pathology is a registered NDIS provider and offers speech pathology services to all participants (including agency-managed) under Therapeutic Supports, as well as Early Intervention services for plan- and self-managed participants.

MEDICARE

Ramsey Speech Pathology is a registered Medicare provider. Eligible clients can receive a rebate for speech pathology services under a Chronic Disease Management plan (CDM). This plan entitles clients to five subsidised sessions per calendar year. The current rebate is $58.00, and can be claimed through the Medicare Express Plus app using your paid invoice receipt from us. 

Please book a consultation with your child's GP prior to your initial speech pathology session. The referral form from the GP must be presented at your initial session in order to claim your rebate.
