Working with ReturntoWorkSA to update the Occupational Therapy fee schedule and policy

OTA has been working with ReturntoWorkSA to update the Occupational Therapy fee schedule and policy.

What’s changed?

Effective 1 July 2023:

• Occupational therapy fees will increase by 4%. The new fee for hourly rate services will be $205.40.
• A new Mental Health Occupational Therapy Fee Schedule will take effect. Occupational therapists who hold an Occupational Therapy Australia mental health endorsement should utilise this fee schedule when providing services to workers with a mental health condition.
