Multiple funding options available
Early Start Australia is an approved NDIS provider and provider of Early Childhood Early Intervention services, which means that children and young adults with NDIS funding can access fully funded therapy.
Early Start Australia’s therapists are also registered Medicare Providers. Children eligible for a relevant Medicare referral or who have allied health services covered in their private health fund cover can receive a rebate for services.
Flexible services to meet the needs of your child and family
Early Start Australia has well-appointed and welcoming clinic facilities, however if you need a therapist to come to you or to your child’s school or childcare centre we offer a mobile therapy service too.
Can’t attend an in-person appointment, or do you live in a rural or remote location? Early Start Australia offers telehealth appointments. Our therapists are very skilled in engaging children during online therapy, and can also offer parent coaching and support online too.
