In addition to self-referrals, we are registered to provide services under:
Referrals Referrals can be made either to a specific clinician or to the Practice in general. Under Better-Access (Medicare) and IHMS a referral is required from your doctor. |
Fees Each clinician determines their own fee structure, including bulk-billed services. Please contact reception for further details. With a referral from your GP (under a Mental Health Care Plan), you are eligible for a Medicare rebate for 10 sessions per calendar year. Your Medicare rebate will increase significantly once you reach your Medicare safety net each calendar year. A proportion of your fee might be funded through your private insurance. Cancellations As we have a high demand for services, please give as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. A cancellation fee of $50 applies for late cancellations (less than 48 hours). This fee is not eligible to a Medicare rebate. |
