Fees and referral pathways
You do not need a referral to see me — it is possible to self-refer — however, to be eligible for the medicare rebate it is necessarily to be referred by a GP or Psychiatrist.
The fee for a standard individual consultation is $185. If you are eligible for a medicare rebate this leaves an ‘out-of-pocket’ cost of $91.65. We will, over the course of our time together, maintain an open dialogue about the frequency, cost, and duration of treatment that best suits your needs.
* Please note there is currently a wait time of approximately 3-4 months for new clients.
Medicare Rebate
A Medicare rebate, currently $93.35, is available for people attending under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP), which can be organised by your GP. People with a MHCP are currently eligible to receive up to 10 rebated sessions per calendar year. This leaves an ‘out of pocket’ cost of $91.65 per appointment.
Private Health Insurance
Depending on your policy, you may be eligible to receive a rebate through your private health cover. It is important to note that you are only able to claim one rebate per session, either private health or Medicare.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
For people accessing the service through an NDIS funding package, the fees are in accordance with current NDIS price guides.
