FAQ

Common fees questions

Do I need to pay upfront?

It depends on your funding type. Private, Medicare, and private health insurance clients pay at the time of their session — Medicare and health fund rebates are then claimed after payment. NDIS clients don’t pay upfront: for plan-managed participants we invoice your plan manager directly, and self-managed participants are invoiced after each session.

Is the free 15-minute consultation really free?

Yes — completely free, no obligation. It's a phone call with Casey to talk through your situation, understand your options, and decide whether Haven OT is the right fit. No pressure either way.

What happens if I need to cancel?

We understand life happens. Cancellations made with more than 48 hours' notice won't incur a fee. Late cancellations (under 48 hours) or no-shows may incur a cancellation fee. NDIS participants: cancellation fees align with the NDIS Short Notice Cancellation policy.

How does Medicare work with Haven OT?

We accept Medicare under the Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative and Chronic Disease Management (Team Care Arrangement) plans. You'll need a referral from your GP, who prepares the plan. You pay our session fee, then claim your Medicare rebate back via the Medicare app, myGov, or at a Medicare service centre. A gap payment applies between our fee and the rebate amount. Ask your GP how many sessions you're eligible for.

Can I use my private health insurance?

Yes — we accept private health insurance with extras cover for occupational therapy. Rebate amounts vary depending on your fund, policy level, and remaining annual limit. You pay our fee upfront, and we provide an itemised receipt so you can claim your rebate directly from your health fund. Check your policy details or call your fund to confirm your OT entitlements.

I'm agency-managed — can I still use Haven OT?

Unfortunately not with your NDIS funding, as agency-managed participants are required to use NDIS registered providers only. However, you're welcome to access our services privately. You can also explore switching to plan-management — call us and we can help explain how.

How do I get an invoice for my records?

Invoices are sent automatically via our Splose practice management system after each session. They include all the details you need — NDIS line items, service dates, and provider information. If you need a copy resent, just email us.

Are report writing fees separate?

Yes. Report writing is billed at the same hourly rate ($220/hr private, $193.99/hr NDIS) based on the time required to complete the report. We'll give you a time estimate before starting so there are no surprises. NDIS participants can typically use their Improved Daily Living budget for reports.
