Pricing Structure

Non-Face-to-Face Services

Non-face-to-face services will continue to be billed outside of this allocated time when they take over the allocated time for each appointment.
A non-face-to-face service is a specific support provided to the client that has been previously arranged and agreed upon with the client.
Some examples of non-face-to-face services that clinicians at Kids at Play Therapy Services may engage in include:

• Liaising or documenting processes, therapy plans, and recommendations for other support workers, clinicians or other supports to develop skills or provide client services.
• Developing home programs.
• Case conferences and liaising with other professionals.
• Research by clinicians directly related to the client is specifically linked to the client's needs and to the achievement of the participant's goals, such as the prescription of equipment.
• Developing specific resources for clients, such as communication aides or home programs.
• Responding to communication from clients, family members or other parties outside of clinical appointment time.
• Scoring assessments.
• Letters and applications.

Case Conferences are a pivotal part of our process at Kids at Play Therapy Services and are an ongoing process allowing clinicians to discuss clients’ progress and share information across disciplines.

NDIS Clients

The NDIS Annual Pricing Review 2021-2022 stated that therapy providers need to work within existing models and ensure that services are sustained and efficient.

We estimate approximately 1-2 hours per year may be allocated towards additional non-face-to-face services. Still, it will be case-by-case dependent, based on unique client and family needs. Some cases will require significantly more hours, which will be discussed with you. We will allow for this in your service agreement.

Case conferences will occur every 3- 6 months, except in complex cases. If you wish this would not happen, please get in touch with us to discuss it individually.

Private and Medicare Clients

Before completing any of the above reports, resources, or communications, we will discuss this with you and provide you with approximate pricing. Please be aware that this includes completing any documentation for the application to NDIS or Centrelink.

Case conferences will occur at your request; we highly recommend these as having all clinicians working towards communal goals is highly beneficial, but we understand the extensive cost to families.

Allied Health Assistant

To allow clients greater access to therapy and to help families afford treatment, we have expanded our therapy team to include Allied Health Assistants (AHA). An AHA can assist with providing therapy with increased frequency, working alongside our clinicians towards your goals. If you want to access this service, please discuss it with your clinician or the administration team.
