Fees and Rebates
Session Fee:
A standard therapy session lasts for 60 minutes, consisting of 50 minutes of therapy and 10 minutes dedicated to therapist note-taking. The session fee is $220. This includes a rebate, making the out-of-pocket costs $82.95.
Rebate Information:
Clients are eligible for a rebate of $137.05, significantly reducing the out-of-pocket cost to $82.95.
Medicare Rebate Eligibility:
Australian citizens can claim up to 10 therapy sessions per calendar year under the Medicare Better Access initiative. To qualify for the rebate, you'll need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your referring general practitioner. Your MHCP covers a specified number of sessions, with a rebate provided for each session. It's important to note that this allowance includes any sessions you may have claimed with other therapists within the same calendar year.
PRIVATE HEALTH
You may be able to claim a rebate for part of the session fee from your Private Health Fund. For more information or to discuss your eligibility for a rebate, please contact your Private Health Fund directly.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Any changes or cancellations are required more than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. Any changes within 24 hours will incur a cancellation fee of the full session fee.
After Hours Service
For services requested outside of our standard service hours, an additional fee of $40 will be applied. After-hours service is available on weekdays after 5 PM and some weekends and holidays. This will make the overall service fee $260 with a rebate amount of $137.05, making the out of pocket cost $122.95.
