Referral
You do not necessarily need a referral. Feel free to contact me directly to make an appointment either by phone or via the contact form. You can also be referred by your GP or other health professional if you prefer to ensure good information provision and co-ordination of services. If you complete a Mental Health Care Plan with your GP you will also be able to claim a Medicare rebate for my services. The Medicare rebate is currently $82.00 for a maximum of 10 sessions. Fees Costs and rates are listed below. All fees are payable in advance online or at the end of the session. Cancellation fees of the full cost of the session apply if less than 24 hrs notice is given to cancel or change your appointment. |
