Electronic payment processing. Your credit card details may be used to process payments at the end of each session. Halaxy software (which is also used to process your Medicare rebate) now provides this option. Electronic payments processing is provided by Braintree in Australia, which is a subsidiary of PayPal and is protected by bank-grade encryption. As a security measure, card details are stored by Halaxy’s partners and not stored by Halaxy directly, so payment data is not stored with patient records and Halaxy cannot retrieve card details. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are all accepted.

Medicare Rebates. Psychological services with a clinical psychologist are eligible for a Medicare rebate between $141.85 per session under the Better Access to Mental Health Care Scheme. This rebate applies to services that have been referred for by your GP whereby they have assessed that there is a significant mental health difficulty and where there is a Mental Health Care Plan in place.

When referred under the Better Access to Mental Health Care scheme, Medicare eligible services are limited to 10 individual sessions per client, per calendar year, with a review by the referring practitioner required after the initial 6 sessions. a GP review letter must be provided to your practitioner on, or before, your 7th session to continue to receive Medicare eligible receipts.

Paediatricians and Psychiatrists can refer to psychologists for Medicare eligible services.

A Mental Health Care Plan is not required; however, you do require a referral letter.

Unfortunately, you cannot claim a rebate for sessions where the person identified on the plan is not present. This is strictly against Medicare guidelines.

Private Health Insurance

Most private health insurers offer a rebate for psychological services. Contact your insurer for further information.

Cancellation Policy

When an appointment is booked, I reserve the time specifically for you and therefore have the following cancellation policy. Please provide a minimum of 24 hours to reschedule or cancel your appointment. Notice must be provided only during business hours to not incur a fee, i.e. to reschedule an appointment on a Monday, notice must be provided before the scheduled time on the Friday prior. A fee of 50% of your consultation charge will apply for cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice. The full fee will apply for non-attendance on the day of the appointment.
