Fees & Referrals

Medicare Referrals

  • Sessions are 50 - 60 minutes long and charged at $190 (full fee) with an out of pocket cost of $100.50 (Medicare rebate of $89.50). Please note it is a Medicare requirement that you must pay the full fee upfront and then will receive the rebate once your claim is processed.

  • Medicare rebates are available with a referral from your GP, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist.

  • You are able to access 10 rebated sessions per calendar year (1st January to 31st December). You will usually be referred for an initial 6 sessions and then will see your GP or specialist for a review to determine your eligibility for a further 4 sessions that year.

  • To make a Medicare claim, you must provide your GP referral letter to me either at your first appointment or prior to our first session.

  • The Medicare claim will be submitted following your appointment, and most people receive the rebate direct to their bank account within 24 hours.

  • Payment is preferred via direct deposit at the time of your appointment. If any fees remain unpaid, no further appointments can be scheduled.
