Private Health
Please contact your private health care fund directly to determine eligibility for rebates.
Please be aware that medicare rebates are not available for services provided by counsellors or provisional psychologists.
When contacting your health insurer to determine whether they will cover all or part of the service fee, please let them know that the service is provided by a provisional psychologist.
Provisional psychologists have been approved to provide psychological services while completing an internship with high levels of clinical supervision. My registration details can be found on the Australian health practitioner register.
*Services are provided at the lowest rates possible. For privately paying individuals this is significantly below the AAPi and APS fee schedules for psychological services, which can be found here and here.
My standard fees for clients supported by third party funding agreements are higher. This accounts for the unbillable hours and administrative burden that arises when working with insurers and other interested parties, and ensures the ongoing viability of the service.
