Session Fees
Fees are billed in 10 minute increments with a 60 minute session being $200 while it is $170 for a 50 minute session. Rebates may be available through Medicare and Private Health Insurance. If you are eligible for a Medicare Rebate your the current rebate is set at $96.65 and all Medicare sessions are booked for 50 minutes.
For your convenience our practice offers EFTPOS and Medicare claiming is processed for you after payment. Alternatively, if you wish to use your private health fund, we can provide you with your invoice to claim the rebate.
Medicare Rebates
Medicare offers rebates for Australian citizens who visit their Psychologist. To be eligible for the rebates you will need to visit your General Practitioner (GP) and explain your mental health concerns and obtain a referral. It is polite to book a longer consultation with your GP so that they have adequate time to develop a care plan with you. If your GP deems it appropriate they will develop with you a “Mental Health Care Plan”, and a letter of referral, which entitles you to Medicare Rebates. All you need to do is either email these documents to us prior to your first appointment or bring these two documents to your first consultation at Mindful Wellbeing Psychology and we will organise the rest. You are entitled up to 10 sessions in a calendar year (January to December).
Private Health Rebates
A proportion of your consultation fee may be reclaimed through private health funds. If you would like to know the amount of rebate prior to your first session you will need to contact your health fund.
National Disability Insurance Scheme
We provide services for Self-Managed and Plan-Managed NDIS funding. At this time, we do not offer services for NDIS-Managed funding. There is no out of pocket cost for Plan-Managed funding, while self-managed funding has the initial out of pocket expense that is then reimbursed to you by NDIS.
Fees are charged per the NDIS schedule of fees, per hour (60 minutes).
