Appointments
Initial and subsequent appointments are 50-60 minutes in duration. The initial consultation is an information-gathering session to get a comprehensive understanding of the current problems that you are seeking help for and how they developed. This is important in order for us to formulate an individualised treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
The frequency of appointments typically ranges from weekly to fortnightly, but it can vary depending on your needs and circumstances. This will be discussed and collaboratively agreed upon in your first session.
Fees and Rebates
If you have been referred by a GP under a Mental Health Care Plan, you are eligible to claim a rebate from Medicare that covers a part of the session fee, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year (January 1st to December 31st). Please note that there is an out-of-pocket gap payment for each session. Please contact us to find out more about the session fee and gap payment.
Rebates may also be available through your private health fund, depending on your level of cover and circumstances. Please check with your private health insurance provider.
Payment is made at the end of each session via EFTPOS and credit card facilities.
