Fee's and Funding Types
Soft Landing Family OT believes in providing total transparency regarding fees and invoices. All fees are calculated based on an hourly rate $190/hr and families are provided with a breakdown of session costs.
NDIS:
Soft Landings Family OT accepts self-managed and plan managed NDIS funding. Soft Landings Family OT is not a NDIS registered business and so is not able to accept NDIA managed funding.
Private Health:
If your private health fund covers occupational therapy, you can claim a portion of the session costs back from them. After paying the full session cost you will be provided with a receipt to submit to your private health fund.
Medicare:
Soft Landing's Family OT does accept Chronic Disease Management Plans, from GP's. These plans provide eligible clients with up to 5 Medicare Rebated sessions. Rebates are claimed by the client directly from Medicare, and do not cover the full session fee.
Travel Cost:
To minimise travel cost Soft Landings Family OT tries to group clients in similar locations on the same day. Travel is billed in 6-minute increments at an overall hourly rate of $190, and where a prior agreement has been reached, travel costs can be split evenly across participants in similar locations.

Session cost is calculated based on session length + 30 minutes post session assessment scoring and a caregiver feedback email.
