Occupational Therapy for Women & Mothers

Because how you feel, function and care for yourself matters.

Do I need a referral?

If you're unsure what applies to you, please use the contact form. I'm happy to guide you through it.

See below for what fees/funding options require referrals.

  • No. You can book directly at any time—no GP or paperwork required.

  • If you have extras cover with your private health insurance, you might be able to claim a rebate for occupational therapy sessions.

    You do not need a referral to use private health insurance for OT services.

    Just check directly with your health fund to confirm:

    • Whether occupational therapy is included

    • How much they rebate per session

    • How many sessions you’re entitled to each year

    I can provide you with a receipt after each session so you can make a claim.

  • Yes. You’ll need a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or psychiatrist to access Medicare rebates for OT mental health support (up to 10 sessions/year).

  • Yes. This requires your GP to set up a Team Care Arrangement and referral, often used when you have a chronic or complex condition needing support from more than one allied health provider (up to 5 rebated sessions/year).

  • No referral is needed, however a copy of an active NDIS plan and be either self-managed or plan-managed is required so I understand what your funded goals are. We’ll work together based on your plan goals.

  • Yes. You’ll need a GP or specialist D904 referral to access fully funded OT sessions under DVA.

  • Yes. You’ll need a Work Capacity Certificate and a referral or approval from your GP or treating doctor. WorkCover QLD must approve OT sessions before we begin.

  • It depends. Contact me directly to discuss availability and options.
