PRIVATE CONSULTATION FEES

Most of our appointments are conducted via Telehealth video call with in person appointments offered when clinically necessary. 

We are located in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne. Travel fees will apply for all in person apoointments.

PivOT Health is a private billing clinic meaning payment is required for all sessions on the day of the appointment. We are unable to hold accounts. If you have any concerns about payment please reach out to us at any time. 

We can see Private, Medicare and NDIS clients - please read on or contact us for more information. 

Your first appointment is typically 60-90 minutes long and will cover your background history, current concerns and a discussion about setting goals for what you want to achieve with occupational therapy intervention.  

All fees are charged at $193.99 per hour and include the following:

• Clinical assessment, intervention and review
• Reports and/or support letters 
• Liaison with other health professionals in your team
• Researching relevant interventions, AT, aids or equipment 
• Equipment/AT assessment and trial
• Discussion and trials with equipment providers 
• Reading medical history or other reports you provide
• Email/phone/meeting correspondence with you and/or your support team
• Travel (when applicable)*

*Travel

We are located in Reservoir. Travel is charged for all clients as per the 2025-26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits (PAPL) guide - up to 30 minutes each way at 50% of the hourly rate PLUS 99c per km. 

Return travel will be charged if you are the only client of the day, or the last client of the day.

Example: 

Reservoir to Collingwood is 30 mins / 13km

The charge will be for 30 mins there + 30 mins back (60 mins) = $96.99

PLUS 13kms x 0.99 x 2 = $25.74

Total travel charge = $122.73

To be eligible for Medicare rebates, you need to have a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan prepared by your GP that includes Occupational Therapy. 

These plans are often also referred to as GP Management Plans (GPMP), Team Care Arrangements (TCA) or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Program.

This plan entitles you to a rebate of $61.00 from Medicare for a maximum of 5 sessions per calendar year. You can claim this rebate online via the Medicare online portal after you have paid PivOT Health for your session in full.  

Please note: 

• We require a copy of your plan before your first appointment
• Consultation fees listed above still apply and are required to be paid on the day of the appointment. 
• Once paid, we will provide you with a receipt to manually claim your reimbursement via Medicare.

You may be eligible for private health rebates through your "extras" insurance. Please contact your health fund directly to discuss if your cover includes Occupational Therapy and advise us at the time of intake.
