Fees, Funding Models, Rebates, and Referrals
Session Fee: $235 for a 50-minute consultation which begins before 6pm (Tas time). $255 for a 50-minute consultation which begins at, or after, 6pm (Tas time). You do not need a referral to see me if you would like to attend privately (full fee with no rebate). For clients eligible for a Medicare rebate (see below for more information about rebates), this is an out-of-pocket gap of $89.75 for sessions before 6pm and $109.75 for sessions from 6pm with the current Medicare rebate of $145.25).
​​
For clients wishing to be assessed for EMDR suitability, there will be a one off 90 minute session needed at pro rata rates ($352 with Medicare Rebate of $145.25).
​
If you would like a longer session, you may book a double session. However, please be aware Medicare will only provide one rebate per day, irrespective of the length of the session.
​
Bulk-billing: I am not able to provide bulk-billing and I encourage you to speak to your GP about bulk-billed or free mental health services which may be available to you.
​
​Additional Services (this does not include progress letters to your GP which are included in your session fee): If you request additional letters or reports which are not completed during your session time, these will be charged at current rates recommended by the Australian Psychological Society (APS). Any request for additional services must be made in writing and I will send a written quote for these services for you to make a decision about whether you would still like me to provide those services. If you agree to the quote in writing, I will provide them once I have received payment for same. Please do not hesitate to discuss this with me in your session.
​
Funding Models and Rebate Options
​
I work with through a variety of funding models including private, private health, medicare (through the Better Access Scheme), Workers Compensation, Third Party Insurance, QPS's Selfrefer program and others.
You may be eligible for rebates through Medicare or your Private Health Insurance.
​
Medicare: You may be eligible for a rebate through Medicare (current rebate of $145.25) if you are referred through the Better Access scheme under a Mental Health Care Plan by your GP or psychiatrist. We are able to accept referrals via fax on 03 6251 1417 or via Medical Objects.
​
Private Health Insurance: You may be eligible for a rebate through your Private Health Insurance. Contact your private health insurer to confirm whether you are eligible for a rebate and how much your rebate will be. It is your responsibility to ascertain whether you are eligible for a rebate through your private health insurance as I do not have access to this information.​
​
Late Notice Fee
We have Late Notice and Nonattendance Fees of $130 which are payable with less than two business days’ notice that you will not be attending your appointment (or if you do not 'show' for your appointment). There are no Medicare or Private Health Rebates provided for the Late Notice fees (this is not within our control).
