Fees
Maria is a Counselling Psychologist and provider with Medicare. That means that there is a fee, a rebate and an out of pocket expense. Please contact 0450 142 029.
Maria uses Halaxy, a cloud-based, secure Practice Management Software which allows for processing the fee at the end of the session and processing the rebate at the same time.
Rebates
If you have consulted your GP about your mental health, you may be eligible for a Mental Health Treatment Plan under the Better Access Scheme for up to 10 psychology sessions in a calendar year. A referral from your GP to consult a psychologist enables eligibility for a Medicare rebate. It is a good idea to book a double appointment when you consult your GP to allow more time to set up the MHTP.
Private Health Insurance
If you have private health cover, you may be eligible for partial rebates if you have extras cover that includes psychological counselling. It is important that you check the details with your fund before contacting to arrange an appointment.
You can still engage a practitioner without a referral. Please contact 0450 142 029.
