Occupational therapy fees

Effective 1 July 2023

TAC has entered into a partnership with the Victorian State-Wide Equipment Program (SWEP). TAC uses this partnership to manage Occupational Therapist (OT) credentialing. OTs can bill the TAC at rates based on your SWEP credentials for the service type.

OTs not credentialed with SWEP can bill at the General OT / SWEP (Green/Amber) rate.

The TAC has extended the funding of temporary telehealth services previously scheduled to end on 30 September 2020 until further notice, giving clients the ongoing convenience and flexibility of accessing health services from home.

Occupational therapy services can be invoiced online via HICAPS Digital Claims for next business day payments.

GST

If your business entity is not registered for GST, then you must only claim the lower of the rates provided at each item number. This is the "Maximum Payment rate - Non registered for GST".  A business entity not registered for GST:

  • Is not legally permitted to charge GST; and
  • Should indicate on all invoices submitted your status as 'not registered for GST'

A business entity that is registered for GST should claim the higher rates provided at each item number.  This is the "Maximum Payment Rate - Registered for GST". Where TAC believes an item is a taxable supply, an allowance for GST has been factored into the payment rate.  You should not markup GST on the Maximum Payment Rate quoted for a GST registered entity.

This Payment Limit relates to the following services
