We love a good news story!
From 1 March 2026, Medicareโs MBS M10 item group allied health services (for complex neurodevelopmental conditions and eligible disabilities) will expand to include stuttering, speech sound disorders, and cleft lip and/or palate, for children and young people aged under 25.
This is a welcome increase in available Medicare rebates for stuttering, speech & cleft.
