In response to requests for additional therapy services, CPL has established a Private Therapy Service which allows those interested, to access additional services on a user-pays basis.

All therapists are registered with Medicare Australia and hold Private Provider numbers that enable clients to claim reimbursement through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and private health insurance funds. A GP referral is required to access Medicare reimbursement under the Allied Health Enhanced Primary Care Plan, which subsidises five Allied Health sessions per year.
