Cost & funding
Fees depend on the service, the provider and the length of the session. Ask each provider for their fees before the first visit.
Medicare does not pay for tutoring. For a psychologist, Medicare pays a rebate for some sessions when your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral first. Ask the psychologist whether a rebate applies to a learning assessment before you book.
If your child has an NDIS plan that includes these supports, you can use it. If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can also use providers that are not NDIS registered. If the NDIA manages your plan, you must use registered providers.
NDIS price limit
$252.99 an hour

Medicare rebates are from MBS Online, 1 July 2026. Providers can charge more than the rebate. Assessment fees come from provider websites in April 2026.

Before you start
Ask whether the tutor has a valid Working With Children Check, and how often you get progress reports.
Finding the starting point
Many tutors begin with a short check of your child's skills and their latest school report.
A written plan
Ask for a written learning plan. Some tutors offer a trial lesson first.

Frequently asked questions
'Learning difficulty' is a broad term for challenges with academic skills. 'Learning disability' (or Specific Learning Disorder) refers to a persistent, significant difficulty in reading, writing, or maths that is not explained by intelligence or opportunity.
Schools can identify areas of difficulty and provide support, but a formal diagnosis of a Specific Learning Disorder is made by a registered psychologist through standardised assessment.
Evidence-based literacy interventions (such as structured synthetic phonics programmes), adjustments at school (extra time, assistive technology), and educational psychology support can all help. Early identification makes a significant difference.
