FEES AND REBATES
All fees and rebates are consistent current Government, Medicare and Australian Psychological Society Guidelines. Please check with us as fees vary based on a number of factors such as session duration, whether the sessions are individual or couple, and so on.
Medicare Rebates
You may be able to claim a rebate for your consultation, up to a maximum of 10 sessions per calendar year. To receive this rebate you must be referred by a General Practitioner under the Better Access to Mental Health Care Programme (GP Item 2710). Alternatively you can be referred directly by a Psychiatrist.

Payment Terms
All payments are due at the time of the session. We have full EFTPOS facilities and accept all major credit cards except Diners and Amex.
