Please speak with your GP to check whether or not you are eligible. If you wish to claim a Medicare rebate for your initial session, please ensure that you have obtained a care plan and referral from your GP before your first appointment. Please either bring your referral to your session or email it through beforehand.
Private Health Rebates
Depending on your private health fund, you may be eligible for a rebate.
Please note that you cannot claim a private health fund rebate and a Medicare rebate for a single session.
Please contact your private health fund to check your eligibility and the amount rebated, as this differs depending on your level of cover.
