FEES

Should you wish to claim a Medicare Rebate, a Mental Health Care Plan & a referral letter will be required from your GP PRIOR to your appointment with a Psychologist.

If following a consultation the GP assess you as qualifying for Medicare Rebates , it allows you to obtain Medicare Rebates for an initial 6 Individual Sessions of psychological treatment and counselling.

Upon completion of the initial 6 Individual sessions, and following a successful Re-Referral from your GP, you may be eligible to receive another 4 Sessions of individual psychological treatment.

This means that you may be entitled to a total of 10 Individual sessions under the Medicare scheme per calendar year.

To obtain a Mental Health Care Plan referral, you will be required to make a longer appointment with your GP so please make note of this when booking your appointment with the GP.

A mental health care plan does not entitle the patient to a free service, as this is a private service a gap fee applies.

Please fax your referrals to 8121 9253. Patients are required to contact me for an appointment. I will inform GPs of the patients initial attendance and will provide further updates as required.

Important Note*

Fees are payable at the time of service. Medicare require the fee to be paid in full and then the rebate can be returned electronically to your bank account. The rebate usually takes approximately 1-2 business days to process and appear in your account. Feel free to ask any questions about this process by speaking with reception staff or the psychologist
