These fees are for full fee paying clients. Eligible clients can receive a Medicare rebate upon receiving a doctor’s referral. Unfortunately I am not able to accept Medicare Bulkbilling clients. However, I do accept clients on the NDIS, Access Plus and Victims Services. These schemes have a different fee structure and provide direct payment to me, meaning you have no ‘out of pocket’ expenses.

For fee-paying clients some rebates may also be available from your private health fund.
