Medicare Rebate Policy
GP referrals need to be renewed every 12 months, and specialist referrals need to be renewed every 3 months.
You will need a GP referral to receive a Medicare rebate for your appointment.
If you are experiencing significant out-of-pocket medical costs, you may be eligible for the Medicare Safety Net. For more information, visit servicesaustralia.gov.au.
Medicare rebate is processed within 48–72 hours after your appointment.
Appointment & Cancellation Policy
SMS reminders are sent 3 days prior to your appointment. Please reply ‘Y’ to confirm your attendance.
A cancellation fee of $200 applies for cancellations made with less than 3 business days notice.
If you join your appointment 15 or more minutes late, it will be recorded as a no-show and a fee will apply.
If you do not attend your confirmed appointment, the full appointment fee applies for the missed session. Medicare rebates are not available for missed sessions.
Scheduling follow-up appointments is the patient's responsibility.
Cancellation Policy Reasons
Our cancellation policy exists to ensure we can continue providing high-quality mental health care to all our patients. When appointments are cancelled with insufficient notice, we are unable to offer that time to other patients who may be waiting for urgent care. This impacts both our ability to help those in need and maintains the sustainability of our practice due to resources allocated to your booked appointment.
Our cancellation fee helps us to:
- Maintain appointment availability for those requiring urgent mental health support
- Cover the operational costs of our clinic
- Ensure our mental healthcare professionals can continue providing dedicated care
- Keep our overall consultation fees reasonable
- Respect the professional time allocated for your care
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this policy. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide notice as early as possible so we can offer your appointment time to another patient in need.
Doctor Communication Policy
We do not accept medical correspondence via email. Patients must book an appointment to speak with a clinician.
Prescription renewals are processed during appointment time only.
Alternative Funding
We accept Workcover QLD only.
Workcover clients need to provide an approval letter from their insurer prior to their appointment.
