Fees/Referrals

Appointments are 50 minutes long and available on either a biweekly, weekly, or fortnightly basis; they can either be in-person or via telehealth. I am available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11:00 a.m. until 8:30 p.m.

My current session fee is $285. For those who have a DVA referral, the session fee is fully covered by DVA.

You do not need a referral or a diagnosed mental health condition to see me. However, rebates are available through certain referral pathways:

Medicare: You are able to access Medicare rebates of $145.25 per session if you are eligible for a Mental Health Treatment Plan (for up to 10 sessions per calendar year) or an Eating Disorder Management Plan (for up to 40 sessions over 12 months). If you wish to access the Medicare rebates, you will need to have a referral from your GP. I will need a copy of your care plan to process your rebate.

Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA): DVA fully funds ($0 out of pocket) 12 sessions per referral. Once the 12 sessions have finished, you will need a re-referral for 12 sessions. There is no limit to the number of sessions you can have.

WorkCover: WorkCover typically funds an initial block of four to six sessions per referral. Following a clinical review, further sessions may be approved as clinically indicated.

NDIS: If you are a self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participant, you can use your funding for the sessions ($0 out of pocket).

A regular appointment time will be offered to and reserved for you following your initial appointment. A cancellation fee will be charged for non-attendance or cancellation with less than 48 hours’ notice. This will be charged via stored credit card details.

Medicare or DVA rebates are not accessible for cancelled or missed sessions.
