Group Programs
Food Explorers Groups - $145 per session
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 - $125 per session
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 - $145 per session
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.
Letter - Brief Summary or Doctor's Letter (single page only)
$70
​
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.
Parent/ Carer/ School Consults
$190/hour (charged per 15 minute intervals)
A rate of $135/hour is charged for meetings with parents, carers or teachers. This also includes online or phone consults.
Fee Terms, Cancellations & Clinic Policies
A cancellation fee of 50% of the scheduled service charge for all clients applies to all sessions where reasonable notice of 2 business days is not provided.
If a cancellation is made on the day of service, the standard 100% of the fee applies as a cancellation fee*, in agreement with the NDIS guidelines.
A No Show for a scheduled appointment for all clients also incurs 100% of the service charge.
* As a family run and centred service, we currently choose to discount this cancellation fee to 50% for families who unfortunately do not have or are yet to have access to any form of funding. We also waive cancellation fees when you have to cancel an initial consultation or if there are unexpected extenuating circumstances e.g. significant weather or traffic incidences. Our small business absorbs this cost for the benefit of our loyal local families.
We are unable to fill your spot in this timeframe so this still does apply when a child is sick. This is necessary to manage our waitlist and therapist's time and preparation.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you know you will be absent. Outside of business hours, please cancel by emailing hello@amazetherapy.com or messaging 0436 276 590.
​
The full Cancellation & Service Delivery Policy can be found here.
Special travel fee of $20 or $40 (for 4069 and 4070 postcodes) to negotiated school visits at the local schools/daycares where a discounted arrangement with the clinic is in place. We currently visit a range of schools and daycares between Moggill and Indooroopilly. Please ask us to confirm which rate applies to your child's school.
Travel beyond this or to a different school is calculated at the therapy rate of $190/hour or at the clinician’s discretion.
It is a requirement that any mobile sessions are paid for by an arranged direct deposit plan/stored card details.
​
We reserve the right to pause therapy sessions once 2 or more session fees are outstanding. We may not be able to guarantee your usual session time if this occurs.
