This is billed as 60 minutes face to face and 30 minutes of non face to face due to the extra preparation, history gathering, scoring and goal setting that is involved in an assessment session.
This also includes case history, observations, necessary assessment test forms, informal and/or formal assessment administration, preparation, scoring and analysis, liaison with other team members as required, other administrative tasks, goal setting, preliminary feedback and verbal therapy plan given to family.

All additional assessment sessions are charged at this same assessment rate per hour.

Food Explorers Groups
This group runs one afternoon per week for 6+ year olds and one morning per week for under 6 year olds during term time. Please enquire for the current times. Each session incorporates a sensory activity and trials of new foods (with family input). We send home a feedback record sheet after each session.

Literacy Intervention Groups
Our Speech Pathologists and Literacy tutors may offer to group your child with similar peers to offer group based Sounds Write sessions for literacy intervention. This proves very beneficial due to the peer modelling, social aspect and affordability.
Handwriting, Sensory or Fine Motor Groups
Our Occupational Therapist also combines children working on handwriting goals at a similar level into groups.
This proves very beneficial due to the peer modelling, social aspect and affordability.
​
Our Groups do often also run as a school holiday intensive program. In this instance, please refer to the price on the booking form.
Assessment Report or NDIS Review Report
$190 per hour
​
For example, a standard report cost is $190, for one hour of clinician time. This includes assessment data and recommendations for one assessment tool or area of difficulty.
​
Comprehensive Reports are charged at $190 per hour, so a typical cost of $380. This type of report is typically much more detailed, and used for combined school-age comprehensive language and literacy assessments, or comprehensive assessments for the purpose of diagnosis or funding.
This fee per hour is also appropriate for reports, plans or summaries created for NDIS purposes.
​
Please note that there is a standard two-week turnaround for standard length reports. Comprehensive reports (such as those for the NDIS) can take up to four weeks. Please discuss the purpose of the report and expected time frame with your therapist. For NDIS, please give your therapist adequate notice if you have a review date approaching or need a report before an upcoming appointment.

Single page letter to doctor/school. This generally doesn't include any assessment data, just our impression and recommendation following the initial assessment. This is often requested to aid in referrals.
