    Payment is due at the time of each session. I accept cash, bank transfer, and card payments, though PayID is preferred.

    Clients with a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and GP referral may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $87.25 per individual session, leaving an out-of-pocket cost of $142.75.

    Rebates are processed through Halaxy the following morning and usually appear in your bank account within 24 hours.

    Common Questions

    Can I claim couples counselling with Medicare?

    Medicare covers individual therapy sessions only. Couples or relationship counselling is not eligible unless the session focuses on one partner's mental health under a valid MHCP.

    How are rebates processed?

    Medicare rebates are handled automatically through Halaxy and paid to your bank account within 24 hours. Private health rebates can be claimed using the invoice emailed to you the next morning.
