Rebates may be available through Medicare if the appropriate referral is made by your family doctor or paediatrician. Speak to your family doctor about your child’s eligibility for the Chronic Disease Management Plan (Formerly the Enhanced Primary Care Plan). Eligible children can receive up to 5 Medicare subsidised sessions per calendar year.
