Great news! 🚨

From March 1st there are new conditions being added to the Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) M10 eligible conditions list.

This means children with the following can access up to 8 rebated assessment sessions and 20 rebated therapy sessions during their life:

• Stuttering
• Speech Sound Disorders
• Cleft lip and/or palate

Take this flyer along and chat to your GP if you think your child may be eligible for a referral to speech pathology under the MBS M10.

Medicare rebates do not cover the whole session cost and there is an out of pocket gap payment.

This is what being “the boss” really feels like — pure joy.

Yes, I was completely spoiled with the most beautiful flowers and a generous voucher to my favourite day spa (they know me well!) — but what truly makes it special is the people.

I’m lucky enough to work with a team that’s not only talented and dedicated, but genuinely wonderful to be around.

They make my “boss life” a dream and for that (and the impending massage) I am so very grateful! X

Have you heard of the Frankie Foundation?

The Frankie Foundation grants help support kids continue or start therapy if their NDIS plan budget has run out or a therapy or service is not covered by their current NDIS plan.

Families can apply for a grant of up to $1,000 to cover up to 10 therapy sessions for a child ages 2 to 12 years of age and currently on a NDIS plan or waiting plan approval.

To apply for a grant, please complete the grant application form and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
