M
Medicare
With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you may access a Medicare rebate of $98.95.
​
The Mental Health Care Plan will determine how many sessions you can access. This is usually six to begin with, and following GP review, can then amount to ten total sessions accessible through the calendar year.
​
Full fee payment is required at time of session, though this rebate can be processed for you at close of session.

Private Health Rebate
Many Private Health Funds offer a rebate, and you may like to confirm with your fund whether this is something that you can access. The practice cannot process these rebates, though you will be provided with an invoice at the close of each session with all the information you need to assist this process.
These do not require a GP referral, however you are unable to claim from both Medicare and your Private Health Fund.
