Helping Children with Autism Package (Medicare Benefits Scheme)

A paediatrician can allocate up to 20 sessions for treatment from allied health disciplines, including speech pathology if your child has a diagnosis of autism or they suspect may have autism. A Paediatrician or Psychiatrist determines the child's eligibility for the program and will require a referral from these professionals to access this medicate rebate ($72.95 per session.) To receive this scheme, your child must be under 13 years of age at time of diagnosis and under 15 years of age when receiving treatment.
