If you do not have a funding package but are entitled to a rebate, we are currently in the process of becoming an Aged Care Provider so that you can make a claim.

If you have a NDIS package and are self-managed, you can access our services directly. You pay for the services and we send you a receipt which you can then use to claim through the NDIS portal.
If you are Plan Managed or Agency Managed, you will need to sign a service agreement with us so we can send invoices directly to your plan manager or to the portal for payment.
