Fees & Rebates
Fees
The standard fee for a 50-55 minute therapy session is $200.
​
Fees are payable at the start or end of the appointment. Payment can be done by EFTPOS, cash or credit card (only Visa and MasterCard)
​
No referral is required if you are paying for the therapy privately and you don't wish to claim a rebate.
​
Rebates
Rebates for psychological services are available through Medicare, 'Better access to mental health' (there will be a gap fee). You will need to visit your GP to obtain a 'Mental Health Care Plan'. Referrals by a psychiatrist or pediatrician may also qualify for a rebate.
​
Medicare rebates for up to 10 therapy sessions per calendar year.
​
Please bring your referral letter and Mental Health Care Plan to your first appointment, so that a rebate can be claimed.
​
Private Health Fund
If you are insured with a private health fund, a rebate for psychological treatment may apply. Please contact your health fund to find out if this applies to you.
​
Cancellation Policy
I need reasonable notice, a minimum of 24 hours, if you are going to cancel or reschedule your appointment, otherwise you may be charged a cancellation fee, which is 75% of the full fee. Medicare rebates do not apply when a session is not attended.
