Medicare covers a portion of each session depending on the service you choose. We aim to make our services accessible and will discuss any fees with you upfront to avoid surprises.
We accept all referrals under Medicare Health Care Plans, including Mental Health Care Plans and Chronic Disease Management Plans. Your doctor can discuss which plan best suits your needs and provide the necessary referral to access our services.
Medicare Health Care Plans allow for a set number of subsidised sessions with allied health providers each year. The exact number varies depending on your plan and health needs, and your doctor can advise you on how to maximise this support.
You will need to qualify according to the rules of Medicare and your Doctor will create the plan for you.
Patients who have at least one chronic medical condition, or complex medical care needs, are eligible for a care plan. A chronic medical condition is broadly defined as an illness or disability that is present for at least six months.
