Medicare Rebates

You may be eligible for a rebate of $96.65 through Medicare if you have a current Mental Health Care Plan provided by your GP for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. 

Private Health Fund Rebates
You may be eligible for a rebate through your private health insurance if you have cover for Psychological services. Please contact your private health insurance to find out your entitlement.



Payment 
Cash, EFTPOS and Credit Cards are accepted and payment can be made at the end of a consultation. We have HICAPS, as well as software that allows us to process your Medicare Rebate in the office.

Cancellation Policy 
If you need to cancel or re-schedule an appointment, please contact your psychologist as far in advance as possible. Please give a minimum of 48 hours’ notice, otherwise you may incur a cancellation fee. You will not be charged a cancellation fee if your appointment time is able to be filled. Please note that rebates are not able to be claimed on cancellation fees.
We offer SMS reminders for appointments as a courtesy to our clients, however, the onus is on the client to ensure they arrive for their scheduled appointment time.
