Rebates and Funding Options
We are registered to provide services through Medicare, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), WorkSafe, Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT) and major private health insurance providers.
Third Party Payments
If your fees are being paid by a third party (NDIS, WorkSafe, VOCAT) you will be asked to provide details and verification at your first session. If your condition is currently under consideration for compensation, you are responsible for payments until such time as your claim is approved. In most cases, you will then be able to reclaim this amount from the body that is providing compensation.
Medicare and HICAPS
Rebates are available through Medicare if you are referred under the Better Access to Mental Health plan or the Enhanced Primary Care plan. Once you have reached your Medicare safety-net, you may then be eligible to claim 80% of the consultation fee. Please contact the Medicare Help Line on 132 150 for more information.
Clients wishing to utilise the Medicare rebate scheme must have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and be referred by a GP or psychiatrist. Alternatively, if you have private health insurance, you may be able to access a rebate through your fund. Please check with your private health insurer to confirm if any rebates are available to you. You are not able to claim both a Medicare rebate and a private health fund rebate for the same session.
An initial MHCP will entitle you to rebates for six sessions. If further sessions are required, you will need to return to your GP or psychiatrist to have the plan renewed. You can have up to 10 rebated sessions per calendar year.
To access your Medicare rebate, please bring your valid GP referral to your first psychology appointment.
