Is your child new to Skillbuilders?

In this case we need as much information as you can send us to ensure our therapists can provide the most targeted service. Please forward any therapy reports, school reports, doctor reports, etc when you book to Penny@skillbuilders.com.au. From here we can contact you to arrange a 'Meet'n'Greet' session if needed. These sessions are to help your child feel more comfortable with one of the therapists prior to the group, and also to ensure any assessment information gaps are addressed. Sometimes we may feel an alternative programme would better suit your child, in which case we can discuss this and make a plan. If your child has not yet had a therapy assessment this will need to be arranged and is subject to waitlist availability.

​

Costs:

All groups are charged at the NDIS therapy rates. Fees vary and are determined by the number of children in the group and the number of therapists required. Fees include time for preparation, pack-away and notes. We generally have a ratio of 1 therapist to 2 children. The fees vary with the number of sessions for the programme, and the duration of the sessions eg 60 or 90 minutes. Fees are discounted for non-funded families. Please contact us to discuss this.

​

Service Agreements:

A signed service agreement is always required to confirm your child's place. We will send this to you and your child's place is confirmed once this is completed.

​

Cancellations:

Our programmes are full programmes and credits are not available. If your child is unable to attend a session for any reason the therapists will provide you with relevant resources to practice the group content at home (where appropriate).

​

Group Reports:

We routinely provide reports for all term programmes and school holiday groups that are 8+ sessions. Reports are provided for shorter programmes (eg 4 sessions) on parent request. The fees are as per NDIS therapy rates with discounts available for non-funded families.
