Fremantle Speech Pathology Pricing and Rebates
On this page, you will find all of our basic information regarding the price of assessments with a specialist and speech therapy sessions.
It may also be possible to claim a rebate for some of the cost of our services, as most ‘Extras’ health insurance covers speech pathology. Check with your individual health cover to find out the percentage of fee that is covered.

Assessments range from $350 to $992 depending on the length of the session and the complexity of the analysis.

The cost includes:

Face time for the assessment (this can be up to four hours).

Private Health Rebates
We have HICAPS available in the clinic so you can pay for your session easily by card on the day and also claim your rebate instantly.
It is a good idea to phone your health insurance fund to ask what rebate you are entitled to for both assessment as well as treatment sessions. Also, remember to ask how much you can claim for your child over the course of the year as this varies with the different funds and level of membership.
Medicare
Did you know you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on speech pathology services? Through the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, individuals with long-term conditions impacting their health and well-being can access Medicare rebates for up to five allied health sessions every 12 months, including speech pathology.
If your GP determines that speech therapy could support your or your child’s long-term health goals, they can refer you under a CDM plan. This means a portion of your session fee may be covered by Medicare, helping make high-quality care more accessible.
At our clinic, we welcome clients using CDM referrals. Our team will work with you to provide the care and support you need while helping you navigate the rebate process.
Cancellations
Please notify the clinic if you cannot make your appointment. This then allows someone from the waiting list to attend at that time. Thank you. If an appointment is not cancelled within 24 hours (unless because of sudden illness etc) the scheduled fee may need to be charged. It is also necessary for all clients to read and sign a Cancellation Policy Document. These are available from individual therapists or you can download it here.
For schools looking to arrange screening projects, or professional development in the areas of speech, language, or literacy, you can find details of pricing in our fee schedule.
