Please DOWNLOAD our fees sheet and carefully read the fee based on the referral type. Give us a call or email if you have any questions.
We do not bulk-bill as we are registered providers for a number of low or no cost counselling programs - Carer's Victoria, and Veterans and Veterans Families Counselling Service.
Fees are to be paid at the time of the appointment. Generally, we do not book appointments for clients until they have the referral to ensure they have the appropriate paperwork, and can claim medicare rebates or other funding as applicable. Since we have no waiting list, we can usually get most clients in for an appointment within a week or two.
Ensure you are fully aware of our cancellation policy (and timeframe) and agree payment of these fees to cover our costs. If fees are not paid as outlined, you may incur a late payment fee of $20 to cover our administrative costs to follow up payments.
Medicare Programs
Most clients are referred by their GP under a Mental Health Care Plan and a referral letter.
- With a Mental health treatment plan upfront fees are $150 per session. We provide you with an medicare invoice upon payment, and you can claim up to 10 sessions per calander year. Rebates from Medicare are about $77 per session. The initial referral allows for six sessions, then a review is required with the GP to obtain another referral letter for a further 4 sessions.
Please DOWNLOAD the "Medicare Referrals" sheet to print off and take with you to the GP to discuss the most appropriate referral pathway based on your financial circumstances.
We believe our fees are very reasonably priced compared to other practitioners in the area, not to mention well below the fees outlined by the Australian Association of Social Workers.
We review our fees and expenses annually. Fees have generally increased by a few dollars each year.
