REBATES & CANCELLATIONS
To receive a rebate from Medicare for your sessions, you will need to see your GP, Paediatrician, or Psychiatrist to obtain a referral.
Mental Health Treatment Plans are available for a range of psychological conditions, whereas Chronic Condition Management Plans and Eating Disorder Treatment Plans are more specific. Please discuss options with your treating provider.
A referral under the Mental Health Treatment Plan will allow you to claim a rebate for up to ten (10) 50 minute sessions per calendar year. These occur in six (6) initial sessions and four (4) additional sessions. You will need to return to your referrer (e.g., your GP) to access the remaining four sessions. Please note* The Australian Government has removed the additional 10 Covid-19 related sessions as of 1/1/23.
A referral under the Chronic Condition Management Plan will allow you to claim a rebate for up to five (5) 50 minute sessions per calendar year.
A referral under the Eating Disorder Treatment Plan will allow you to claim a rebate for up to forty (40) 50 minute sessions per calendar year. These occur in intervals of ten (10) sessions. You will need to return to your referrer (e.g., your GP and/or psychiatrist) for a new referral following every tenth (10) sessions.
All fee-paying clients must pay the full fee for the consultation at the end of the session. Our team will then process the Medicare Rebate for you. Your rebate will be paid back into the bank account you have registered with Medicare. Fees and rebates vary for Psychologists; please see the fee table for guidance.
You need to bring a copy of the Referral Letter and Treatment/Management Plan to your first consultation. Without the referral, you will not receive the rebate from Medicare.
Please note* All Fees are subject to change. We review Fees at the end of the financial and calendar year.
Reduced rates may be available to current clients experiencing temporary, significant financial hardship. Please discuss this with your Psychologist in session.
Every psychologist is bound by the Code of Ethics of the Australian Psychological Society. A core part of the If you wish to pay privately, it is worth checking with your health fund before your first appointment to see what rebate you are entitled to under your insurance. Please be aware that you can only make a claim from one source (either Medicare or your health fund) for each consultation.
Psychologists can provide various assessment services (see Assessment page). In the case where another specialist (e.g., Psychiatrist) has requested specific testing for you, our administration team will be able to provide a quote before you get started. If you have self-referred, we recommend you come in for an initial interview to begin the assessment process. At this point, the Psychologist will provide a tailored quote based on your needs. We aim to tailor assessment packages to individual needs, reduce unnecessary expenses and provide a report that will help you access the support that you or your child needs.
Cancellation and No-Show Fees apply as this time has been set aside for you and cannot be filled at short notice. Medicare and DVA will not pay for Cancellation and No-Show Fees. They are payable by you (either the client; or should the client be a child/adolescent, the parent is responsible for paying outstanding fees).
Existing clients can book your appointments online with our Psychologists Kelly, Sam, Mia, Gisele, Laura, Abbie, Emily, Blake, Justyce or Gemma. For bookings with Leia, please contact our admin team.
