Unfortunately psychotherapists and counsellors are not yet covered by Medicare rebates and the Mental Health Care Plan Scheme.
But I have designed my prices to be comparable with other mental health professionals like psychologists even after the rebate has been applied.
Additionally, since the Medicare rebate is only valid for a certain number of sessions, any additional sessions would be at full price if you wanted to continue seeing a practitioner who offers the rebate. In the long run, therefore, seeing me is probably less expensive than seeing practitioners who do offer the rebate.

24 hours notice of cancellation is required, otherwise 50% of the session fee will be charged.
