Speech Pathology Australia (the Association) provides information about programs that assist in the funding of speech pathology services, including Medicare and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Association members wanting more information about the National Disability Insurance Scheme should visit the NDIS page on this website.
Below you will find information about obtaining a Medicare provider number, the different Medicare programs and item numbers, and links to relevant information and resources.
It is essential that all Association members with a Medicare provider number, read the notes for each item number on the Medicare Benefits Schedule, prior to providing a Medicare rebateable service.

The Association has developed a document that provides current information including guidelines, fee schedule and access to further information for private practitioners who are working with veterans or who would like to work in this area.
With over 7,800 members the Association represents the views and interests of the overwhelming majority of speech pathologists in Australia.
