Funding Options

NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support to people with disability, their families and carers. If you have a disability that is likely to be permanent and significant you can, subject to eligibility, receive funding from the NDIS.

Full Circle Therapies in no longer a resistered NDIS provider and can only see slef managed or plan managed participants.

Although  Full Circle Therapies are no longer a registered provider -we continue to be guided by the Principles of the NDIS and the Rules of the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission including:

• Conducts Working With Children and NDIS Worker Screenings of all staff and contractors.
• Has a clear and accessible process to support you to make complaints (Please go to our Feedback page).
• Trains and monitors our staff members' adherence to the NDIS National Workers' Code of Conduct and their other professional Codes of Conduct.

You are eligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) if you:

• are under 65 years of age, and
• are an Australian citizen or resident or permanent visa holder, and
• meet the disability or early intervention requirements.

People with disability, or their family or advocate, can use the NDIS eligibility check list to see if they are eligible. If so, they can then apply to receive support through the NDIS.  NDIS funding is available for “reasonable and necessary supports” to help people with disability to reach their goals and aspirations, take part in activities to increase their social and economic participation and to live a life as “ordinary” as possible.

People who have been approved to be included in the National Disability Insurance Scheme are referred to as “Participants”. People or organisations who provide these Participants with products and/or services are referred to as “Providers”.

People with chronic or terminal medical conditions, including those who requiring multidisciplinary, team-based care from a GP and at least two other health or care providers, are eligible to access allied health services through Medicare.

Our Occupational Therapist and Speech Therapists are all registered Medicare Allied Health Professional providers.

Please note: As we do not bulk bill for services there will be a gap payable. The gap is the difference between the cost of our service and the amount that Medicare rebates for each service. To find out what the rebate is for each service contact Medicare and quote the item number of the service you want to access (see brackets above).
