Your first two sessions are fully bulk billed.

All our sessions are 50 minutes and you can choose whether it’s a video call or over the phone. You’ll just need to get a GP referral so Medicare covers it.

After that it’s just $40 after the Medicare rebate.

For session 3 to 10 you’ll need to pay the full amount, but will still get a Medicare rebate. This means the amount you’ll pay after the Medicare rebate is just $40.

The only other fee is if you don't show up.

Hopefully this doesn’t happen to you. But if you do miss an appointment or don’t give us at least 48 hours heads-up, there’s a $40 fee.
