DO YOU HAVE A CHILD WHO STRUGGLES WITH ATTENTION, BEHAVIOUR OR HANDWRITING? MAYBE THEY CAN’T SIT STILL, HAVE MESSY WRITING OR ARE SLOWER TO COMPLETE WORK THAN THEIR PEERS?
IT’S AN INCREASINGLY COMMON PROBLEM AND OFTEN PARENTS FIND IT HARD TO FIND THE TIME AND TOOLS TO HELP ADDRESS IT.
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN HESITANT ABOUT OFFERING OT THERAPY SESSIONS TO ADDRESS THESE DIFFICULTIES BECAUSE THE LENGTH OF TIME BETWEEN SESSIONS OFTEN MEANS THAT PROGRESS IS LIMITED. SO THESE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS I AM OFFERING INTENSIVE 1:1 THERAPY BLOCKS TO HELP ADDRESS SPECIFIC CHALLENGES AND CREATE HEALTHY HABITS MORE EFFECTIVELY.
YOUR CHILD WILL RECEIVE A DAILY INDIVIDUAL OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SESSION FOR 5 DAYS.
SESSIONS COST $100 EACH ($500 FOR 5 DAY INTENSIVE) ALL ELIGIBLE STUDENTS CAN ACCESS UP TO 80% IN MEDICARE REBATES CLAIMABLE ON COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM. BULK BILLING PROVIDED FOR ELIGIBLE MEDICARE CLIENTS.
FAQ’S

HOW MUCH WILL THE SESSIONS COST?
$100 per session ($500 for 5 day intensive) All eligible students can access up to 80% back in medicare rebates. Bulk Billing is provided for families with eligible medicare mental health care plans
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY CHILD IS ELIGIBLE FOR A MEDICARE REBATE?
Children who have 2 or more chronic health conditions are generally eligible for 5 subsidised sessions through an Enhanced Primary Care plan. Eligibility for these plans can be discussed with your GP.
Children requiring assistance for mental health related concerns can access the sessions using a Mental Health Care Plan. Contact your GP to discuss eligibility. Bulk Billing is provided for these claims.

No you don’t need to stay for the session. However, the content may be useful in helping you support your child’s learning needs.
HOW LONG WILL THE SESSION GO FOR?
Sessions are 30min long, you can request a 45min or 1hour long session should you feel your child would benefit from this. However, 30min is generally plenty for this type of therapy.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
