REferrals & Fees

We accept private referrals if you are accessing counselling through your own funding, without the need for a GP referral. Please note that Medicare rebates do not apply to private appointments.

If you have private health insurance, we can provide you with an invoice to submit to your fund; however, we do not process private health claims on behalf of clients. We recommend checking directly with your insurer to confirm your level of cover and eligibility when receiving support from an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker.

Private counselling fees are $150.00 per session.

If you have a GP Mental Health Care Plan, you’re welcome to access counselling with us using your referral.

A GP Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) allows you to access up to 10 Medicare-rebated counselling sessions per calendar year. To be eligible, you will need a referral from your GP.

Your GP should refer you for an initial 6 sessions. When you have completed these 6 sessions, we will write back to your GP requesting they refer you for another 4 sessions to make up your 10 for the year. During this time you will need to attend an appointment with your GP for a review.

Fees for MHCP sessions $150.00. Medicare will rebate you $87.25, leaving the out of pocket cost at $82.75 per session.

Rebecca is a registered provider with Telus Health EAP Counselling. If your workplace offers this service, we are able to accept referrals through this program.

We recommend initiating the referral process through your employer or the relevant external provider prior to commencing sessions with us, if you are seeking to access funding through this service.

Fees for EAP session are billed through the provider, so there is no out of pocket cost to the client.

For clients accessing counselling through third-party funding, we’re happy to talk through your options. Pre-paid session packages are available, and billing can be arranged directly with approved providers.

We provide counselling services to clients accessing NDIS funding who are self-managed or plan-managed. At this time, we are unable to accept referrals for NDIA-managed participants.
