Fees & Rebates

Therapy takes place usually weekly and on an ongoing basis. At the initial consultation, we discuss how we'll work together, with a focus on talking through and working with what arises for you in each session. 

Please call me to book, and for the initial appointment fee. Phone: 0433 781 919 

Medicare rebates are available with a valid referral; however, they are limited in number and are not intended typically to support ongoing, longer-term work.

Therapy is offered on a weekly and ongoing basis, as part of a sustained commitment to personal work. You are welcome to call to discuss booking an initial consultation.

The Medicare rebate is $99. Fees are settled at the end of each session.

You can obtain a valid GP referral and bring it to your appointment. Without a valid referral, no rebate applies. I process your rebate. Sessions cannot be back-dated. 

Private health insurance rebates may be available, depending on your level of cover. Please check directly with your insurer regarding your eligibility.

If you wish to claim, you can provide your insurance details during the session so that the appropriate receipt can be issued.

A referral is not required to begin therapy. You are welcome to make an appointment with me directly.

However, if you wish to access Medicare rebates, you will need to obtain a Mental Health Care Plan and referral from your GP. You can get a referral after we have the first session. 

The referral letter contains the usual details about you, and your doctor:

• The date
• doctor's signature
• provider No.
• diagnosis
• your full name as listed on Medicare
• date of birth
• address
• Medicare number
• the number of sessions requested (standard is always six, with a review for four more later). 

The only way to ensure privacy and confidentiality is to talk in your sessions. Do not share private information about your sessions online.

In my practice patient privacy and confidentiality is taken seriously. I do not discuss or share patient's private records including attendance* and my notes outside of the consulting room or by email. You can book an appointment and I will discuss the records with you directly in the session. 

My practice follows the Australian law, and standard guideline for private psychology. Read my privacy policy. 

*A receipt from a therapist is also a private health record, you must state purpose (i.e., private health insurance) so an accurate receipt after payment can be issued. As of July 2025, my practice processes the Medicare rebate on the day.
