HOW DO I ACCESS mEDICARE-SUBSIDISED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Your medical practitioner will refer you if they deem that Occupational Therapy will be beneficial for your condition. Each patient is eligible for up to five individual sessions per calendar year of any type - this includes other allied health services not just OT. If your doctor believes you will benefit from Occupational Therapy they will prepare a Chronic Condition Management Plan and give you a referral to our service.
