Referrals and Fees
A referral from a GP or psychiatrist is required to allow DVA/Defence to pay for the service I provide
Patient Fees (based on 50-minute consultation)
DVA or Open Arms Bulk billed (no patient payment)
Private Referral:
You can refer yourself and you will need to cover the full cost of the $230 fee in doing so. Please check with your Private Health Care fund whether you are eligible for reimbursement.
GP Mental Health Treatment Plan (2710/2717):
To obtain a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, you will need to contact and arrange an appointment with your regular GP. This is an assessment done by the GP and your GP will decide if your symptoms and issues warrant a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. If eligible, the plan entitles you to the Medicare rebate of up to 10-sessions in a calendar year.
Medicare eligible mental health treatment $230.00 ($141.85 reimbursed by Medicare)
Pensioner and Health Care Card holders (Medicare) $190.00 ($141.85 reimbursed by Medicare)
Patients with WorkCover, Comcare, other accepted accident or insurance claims 3rd Party, No fee payable
*The APS recommended fee for 2024-25 is $311 for a 50-minute session
For Private Health Fund rebates, please check with your provider for your rebate. I don't offer electronic reimbursements through private health funds, but will always provide a receipt which is compliant with their needs.
