Occupational therapy fees
13 April 2026
OT fee schedule now in effect
The new TAC model and fee schedule for Occupational Therapy services is now in effect. A significant component of the new service model is the OT Access Registry. For more information on how to register in order to access the maximum rate, please visit the occupational therapy registration page.
OTs who choose to register on the OT Access Registry should invoice the TAC using the new item codes and maximum payment rates on the Commercial–in-Confidence fee schedule as soon as they receive confirmation of registration.
OTs who choose not to register on the OT Access Registry will need to invoice the TAC using the three publicly facing codes in the Current rates table below.
How to ask questions
If you have any questions about the updated fee schedule, please contact: sectors@tac.vic.gov.au

For information about our invoicing requirements, please see How to invoice the TAC.
* 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.
