Do you accept Mental Health Care Plans?

Yes! A MHCP can be obtained from your GP and gives you a Medicare rebate of $85.20 for 10 sessions per calendar year.

What is your cancellation policy?

Less than 24 hours' notice of cancellations will attract a 50% session fee.

Late arrivals (up to 20mins) can only be extended to the remaining time of the scheduled appointment. If you are more than 20 minutes late past your appointment we will have to reschedule or cancel the appointment, which will incur a cancellation fee.
