Rebates
Under the Medicare Better Access scheme, Pam can provide up to 10* rebated individual therapy sessions in a calendar year. You will need a referral from a GP and a Mental Health Care Plan, or a referral from a psychiatrist.
*Please note this is a recent change.
It is also possible to get rebates through your private health fund, depending on your level of cover.
With an appropriate referral, sessions of 50 minutes or more receive a Medicare rebate of $93.35*.
Should you hit the safety net, this rebate may increase.
