How much does it cost and can I get a rebate?

Consultations are charged at $210. You are entitled to an $96.25 rebate through Medicare if you have a valid mental health care plan.  Alternatively, you may be able to claim a rebate through you private health fund, however you will need to contact your provider to clarify.  Couple therapy is charged at $225 per consultation and is not claimable through Medicare. The same private health conditions apply.
