Rebates:
Rebates for psychological services are available from several sources including:
Medicare
Under the Medicare 'Better access to mental health' scheme you can obtain a rebate for part of the session cost for up to 10 therapy sessions in each calendar year. I am registered to enable you to receive the level of medicare rebates available. To be eligible to receive the rebate you must visit your GP, Psychiatrist, or Paediatrician and obtain a referral for psychological services as part of your overall treatment plan. If you have reached your Medicare family 'safety net' threshold for the calendar year, the rebate will be almost all of the session cost. No bulk billing unless under severe financial hardship and only by arrangment.
Private Health Funds
Most private health funds provide rebates for psychological services depending upon your level of cover. Please contact your health fund to find out more. I am registered with Private Health Funds for provision of services.
Workcover:
I am also registered for workcover counselling. Contact your employer/employers insurance company for a claim and then make an appointment.
I welcome questions and enquiries so please feel free to contact me with any questions you have.
