Fees for Self-referred Clients

 

The standard fee for a fifty-minute session is $160. Self-referred clients do not require a referral or mental health care plan from their GP, and thus are not eligible for a Medicare rebate. Payment in full is expected on the day and can be made via card, cash, or online transfer.

​Fees for GP-referred Clients

 

The standard fee of $160 qualifies for a Medicare rebate of $81.90 per session, resulting in an out-of-pocket cost of $78.10 per session. The full payment of $160 is required on the day, and a receipt will be provided to process your Medicare claim.

Medicare Rebates

 

To be eligible for the $81.90 Medicare rebate per session, you must obtain a mental health care plan and a referral letter from your GP. Kindly email these documents to me before your initial session.

 

A mental health care plan never expires and only needs to be set up once. The accompanying referral letter will grant you access to an initial 6 Medicare-rebated sessions. Following a review by your GP, you may be eligible for an additional 4 sessions, totalling up to 10 sessions per calendar year. A calendar year runs from 1 January to 31 December.
