Fees
The fee for a 50 minute session is $230. This covers consultation time, as well as preparation time and any follow-up that may be needed.
A referral is not needed to book a session. But it can be helpful to access the Medicare rebate of $137.05 to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. If you have reached your Medicare Safety Net the gap payment will often be significantly reduced. You can access this rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. To be eligible, you will need to be referred by a GP or Psychiatrist who will complete a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP).
If you have private health insurance, you may be eligible for a rebate through your provider. Please check with your health fund to see if you are covered.
Cancellation Policy: If you need to reschedule, please do so with as much notice as possible. If an appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, a cancellation fee of 50% of the full fee will be applied. If a scheduled appointment is not attended (and no notice is given), a cancellation fee of 100% of the full fee will be applied. Cancellation fees do not attract any Medicare or insurance rebates.
