We carefully consider our fees compared to those charged by similar practices, our initiatives to ensure the ongoing delivery of best practice intervention, and the value that Gameplan provides our therapy clients and their families.  Gameplan’s services will remain competitively priced with the following to apply from 1 Jan – 30 Jun 2024:

Term Program session days/times have limited availability. Term Program clients must confirm their therapy client term program, and Term Program session days/times have limited availability.  Term Program clients must confirm their therapy client term program, and payment terms, prior to the commencement of each school term via the purchase of a relevant Gameplan subscription(s).  Gameplan reserves the right to re-allocate the applicable session day/time to another therapy client if this condition is not met.

Individual Program therapy clients who fail to attend a scheduled session are not entitled to a credit adjustment.  An Individual Program session cancelled with more than 24 hours’ notice can be re-scheduled as a make-up session, only 1 per term.  A ‘cancelled’ make-up session will be as scheduled with a Gameplan consultant, during the term, only if available as determined by the Gameplan consultant.  If unused, a ‘cancelled’ make-up session does not roll-over to the following term and credit will not be given.  ‘Cancelled’ make-up sessions are only available during the term and cannot be held in the school holiday period.

Group Program therapy clients who fail to attend a scheduled session are not entitled to a credit adjustment.

If a Program therapy client is sick or injured for 3, or more, consecutive weeks then a 50% credit adjustment for the sessions missed will apply.  Gameplan will retain the remaining 50% of the fee to hold the applicable session day/time until the therapy client is able to return to regular sessions. 

If a Program therapy client is planning a holiday for 3, or more, consecutive weeks, and Gameplan is notified in writing before the beginning of the applicable school term, then a 50% credit adjustment for the sessions missed will apply.  Gameplan will retain the remaining 50% of the fee to hold the applicable session day/time until the therapy client is able to return to regular sessions.

If a Gameplan Consultant is sick, injured, away on holidays, or unavailable, then Gameplan will arrange an alternate consultant.  If an alternate consultant is unavailable, then a make-up session can be scheduled with the Gameplan Consultant either during the term or within the school holiday period, or a 100% credit adjustment for the session(s) missed can apply.  No refunds will be available.  Refer to Gameplan’s ‘Sickness Policy’ for other relevant terms and conditions:

Individual and Group Program session days/times have limited availability.  Based on independent medical advice, and as agreed with Gameplan’s Director, a Term Program can be cancelled.  A 3-week notice period applies.

A deposit payment is required for Gameplan’s Assessment and Intensive Program services and some Holiday Programs.  A cancellation more than one week before the first scheduled session will receive a 100% credit note to the value of the deposit payment. A cancellation less than one week before the first scheduled session will receive a 50% credit note to the value of the deposit payment.

Term Program clients must confirm their term program subscription prior to the commencement of each school term via the purchase of a relevant Gameplan subscription(s).  For example, a typical ‘Term Program: Therapy (Speech Language Pathologist)’ subscription fee = $2,080 (GST free).  This is based on a 10-week school term.  All term subscriptions will consider the number of days per term as detailed.  Travel pack subscription fees (15min part(s) thereof) and NDIS administration service delivery fee will apply if applicable.

Weekly, monthly, or term-based (5% payment discount offered up until the end of week 3 of school term) pre-payment options will be offered for each Term Program subscription.

Any additional charges throughout the term – such as general support services, assessments, additional therapy session(s) held in addition to the relevant term program subscription, meetings, or travel – will be invoiced to the Term Program Client.  If a scheduled term program session is used for another support activity with a different service fee, such as an assessment, then the difference in fee will be invoiced to the Term Program Client.

All card payments via Gameplan’s Xero-issued invoices, whether made by a Term Program client and/or Gameplan, will incur a payment card merchant fee.  Card payments and direct debits via Gameplan’s term program subscription platform will not incur a merchant fee.

Any additional charges that remain outstanding for more than 21 days will be charged to the Term Program client payment card, as provided to Gameplan, either via Gameplan’s Consent Form, term program subscription platform, or other means.  This may include any costs associated with recovery of debt.

If a Term Program Client has not purchased the relevant term program subscription by the end of week 3 of school term, then:

• Gameplan will automatically process all outstanding term program subscriptions, with payment details as per the previous term; or

• Gameplan reserves the right to re-allocate the applicable session day/time to another therapy client.

Gameplan is eligible to provide supports and services to NDIS participants who are self-managed and plan-managed.

Private Health Insurance rebates are available for services provided by our Speech Language Pathologists.  Consult your health fund to obtain details on the rebate amount for speech pathology consultations and the maximum amount you can claim per person or family in a calendar year.

Medicare funding is available for eligible therapy clients via the Medicare Items for Chronic Disease Management (CDM) (formerly Enhanced Primary Care (EPC)).

Upon request, Gameplan will provide clients with detailed invoices and receipts to satisfy any rebate fulfilment requirements.  Gameplan’s Term Program subscription fee invoice layout will not satisfy the rebate fulfilment requirements.
