Funding
Accessing the right support shouldn’t feel overwhelming. At Driven By You, we’re here to guide you through your funding journey so you can focus on what truly matters, your growth and independence.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
The NDIS is a government-funded program that helps people under 65 with a permanent disability or condition.
If your condition impacts your daily activities or your ability to participate in work, community, or social life, you may be eligible for NDIS funding.
This funding can be used to access supports like Occupational Therapy services.
Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI)
The NDIS also has an Early Intervention scheme to provide funding for children aged 0-6 who meet certain diagnostic criteria.
Medicare
Rebates are available under certain item numbers for up to five services a year.
Your GP may be able to provide you with a Chronic Disease Management (or GPMP) and/or Better Access to Mental Health Care Plan.
Please speak to your GP to see if you are eligible.
A signed letter outlining the recommended items is required to confirm diagnosis.
Private Health Funds
Depending on your level of private health cover and extras, you may have funding for Occupational Therapy.
Contact your provider directly to verify services that are eligible for rebates.
