NDIS Fees and Funding

Kids Chatter Speech Pathology accepts plan managed and self-managed clients. We cannot accept agency managed clients.

Our NDIS session fees are charged at the hourly rate of $193.99 as per the current NDIS Price Guide. However, due to the NDIS price cap for therapeutic supports being frozen for over 5 years and not keeping in line with inflation, businesses have had to adjust the way they offer NDIS services due to the significant behind-the-scenes work such as session preparation, clinical analysis, record keeping and administrative tasks related to participants’ NDIS plans. Therefore, our sessions operate on a 75 minute basis. This includes 50 minutes of face-to-face time with your therapist (direct services) and an additional 25 minutes of non-face-to-face time (indirect services). This means the cost of the 75 minute service is $242.48.

All other services, such as report writing or stakeholder meetings/consultations are charged at the hourly rate for the amount of time used.
