Fees / Medicare
Sessions are 50 minutes and cost $220 per session.
If you have been referred by a GP with a mental health care plan, you can receive a medicare rebate of $145.25 for each session, up to 10 sessions per calendar year. This leaves a gap payment of $74.75 for each fifty minute session after the rebate.
If you have been referred under an Eating Disorder Plan, you are eligible for up to 40 sessions per calendar year with reviews from your GP and Psychiatrist to ensure appropriate intensity of treatment.
Payment is due at the time of session. The practice has electronic payment facilities by credit card through Halaxy. To process payment, clients will be asked to complete a credit card authorisation form as part of the online intake form.
What to expect
Upon initial receipt of your referral, contact will be made via phone to undertake a brief 10 minute intake.
From there an initial appointment will be scheduled. An initial appointment will involve a general history taking and provide an opportunity to get to know you and understand your background, current circumstances, and what has brought you to therapy.
Appointments are offered face to face and online/telehealth.
Rooms are located at Illawarra Therapy Suites at 4/154 Balgownie Rd, Balgownie NSW 2519
