fees

1. Mental health care plan – Medicare

Medicare rebates may be provided for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. This may move across calendar years. At the end of the session, the full fee is charged to the client’s credit card, and the Medicare rebate will be credited to the client’s bank account. In most instances, the rebate appears in the client’s bank account within 24 hours. MHCPs can be approved by a general practitioner (GP), psychiatrist or paediatrician.

2. Self-funded referrals and clinical supervision

You can self-refer — choosing to pay the full fee without using a MHCP or private health fund rebate. Self-funded clients do not need a referral, with supervision provided at the same hourly rate.

3. Private health rebates

Private health rebates will differ depending on each client’s individual policy. It is the client’s responsibility to check their private health fund and eligibility for claims, as funds vary. An invoice can be provided at the end of the appointment, with which the client can claim through their fund online.

4. National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

Plan-managed and self-managed funds are accepted. Fees will vary depending on plan type (refer to above for fee structure). The full fee will be paid at the end of the session by credit card or direct transfer to a bank account.
