This is available for individuals who do not have NDIS funding. At present, Rural Children's therapy is unable to take private health funds payments. Rural Children's therapy believes everyone should have access to Occupational Therapy, even if they are not on the NDIS. A private session can go anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour. We understand that clients paying privately may not be able to afford regular appointments, therefore, we have flexible options for families in appointment frequency.
