Fees
AEIOU offers a range of services, and your fees may differ depending on the supports your child receives.
Supported childcare
Supported learning and childcare is available in 8- or 10-hour sessions, with a minimum two-day enrolment requirement. You may be eligible to access Childcare subsidies depending on your personal circumstances, and no NDIS funding is required. We offer at least twice as many staff members in this environment than found in mainstream settings.
You are also able to engage in a combination of supports at AEIOU. This may include private therapy, which is subject to availability, or dual enrolment across this childcare service and our core therapeutic early intervention service.
Therapy fees
AEIOU is a registered NDIS provider, and therapy-related fees are aligned to the delivery of appropriate, effective supports as stipulated in the NDIS Price Guide. This may be in small groups or as part of an individual session.
Therapy-related fees are most often funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), but some families choose to privately fund their support plans.
The NDIS can be complex to navigate, and if you have any questions our team can provide guidance.
Call our NDIS Support team on (07) 3320 7500 for advice.
