Questions
Paediatric OT questions

Share the child’s age, location, main routines that feel difficult, school or home context, funding type, and any reports or referral details already available.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
Sessions can happen in the centre, at home, at school or by telehealth, depending on the service and location. The right setting is agreed with you after you enquire.

Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
