FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...
WHAT ARE YOUR SESSION FEES?
$170 - $220. A Medicare Rebate and a valid Medicare Card entitles a client to claim $92.90 from Medicare.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I ACTUALLY FEEL I NEED MORE SESSIONS AND I NEED LONGER TERM WORK BUT I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO COVER FOR IT?
Check with your Private Health Insurance Provider. If you have Psychology Benefits covered, there is an amount that can be claimed. You can also speak to June and she will work out a payment plan and/or lower her fees for clients who need more regular and longer term work.

Yes, I do offer this. Medicare still covers the Rebate of $89.65 for Telehealth and Phone Consultation Sessions provided that you have a Mental Health Care Plan and a Valid Medicare Card.
