Funding and cost
We confirm the cost with you before anything is booked. Our quotes include travel.
| Support at Home and Home Care Packages | Funded through the client's provider. The care manager sends the referral and we invoice the provider using Support at Home service names. |
|---|---|
| NDIS | For plan-managed and self-managed participants. Check with the participant's plan manager; massage is not funded in every plan. We are not a registered NDIS provider, so we can't support agency-managed plans. |
| Private | Clients and families can book directly. We'll give you the rate and the likely number of hours up front. |
Questions
Who can make a referral?
Care managers and coordinators, support coordinators, GPs and hospital teams, and clients or their families. For package clients we check with the provider before booking.
Is massage safe for older clients?
Yes, with the right technique. Our therapists check health conditions and medications first and adjust pressure and positioning.
Are your therapists qualified and insured?
Yes. Every therapist holds a remedial massage qualification, public liability insurance and a current police check, and works under our agreement.
Ready to refer?
Send the service, suburb and how soon it's needed. We'll come back with a date and cost.
