The Medicare mechanism

How the rebate is actually claimed

Your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan and refers you to a registered psychologist. That plan makes you eligible for a Medicare rebate on a set number of individual sessions each calendar year, currently up to ten. We claim it on the spot at reception with your Medicare card, so you only pay the gap between our fee and the rebate.

Ben, our practice manager, processes the claim at reception straight after your session with your Medicare card, so you pay the gap on the day rather than the full fee up front.

Fees and cancellation, plainly

Our fee applies to every session. There is no bulk billing; eligible clients have the rebate claimed on the spot, so you pay the gap.

We ask for at least twenty-four hours' notice to change or cancel a booking. Full details are on the booking and cancellation policy page.
