Understanding Fees & Rebates
Medicare Rebate
-
Medicare’s “Better Access” plan provides rebates for eligible individuals facing mental health challenges. You are entitled to 10 sessions per calendar year.
-
To obtain your “Better Access” plan, you are required to receive an appropriate referral from your general practitioner. The referral is valid for 12 months.
-
The rebate for a clinical psychologist is currently 145.25. This means your out-of-pocket expense for a standard appointment is $99.75.
-
Caregivers, and those supporting someone with mental health challenges are entitled to 2 of the 10 subsidized sessions. In these cases, their own referral is not required.
Private Health Insurance
Rounded Minds Clinic can provide appointment invoices for the purpose of claiming a rebate via private health insurance.
We encourage you to check your insurance provider Extras before making an appointment to ensure that there is not an unexpected gap.
Fees and Charges
At Rounded Minds Clinic, your first appointment is a one-off cost of $285. After that, each session is $245. Medicare rebates are available. Check with your General Practitioner to find out if you’re eligible.
Cancellation Policy
We appreciate that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes things come up that prevent you from attending your appointment.
Rounded Minds Clinic is happy to reschedule to a time that better suits your schedule. A 50% standard session fee may apply for repeated instances.
