Consultation Fees

Fees vary slightly depending on the service you are seeking, duration of appointment and whether you have access to any funding (through Medicare, NDIS, or your private health insurance). ​

​

(1) Mental Health Care Plans

​

Anthony Hansen Counselling is a registered Medicare provider. With a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) written by your GP, you can now access up to 10 sessions with an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker per calendar year. There is a gap fee (an out-of-pocket expense) per session, which is detailed below.

To access the Medicare rebate to see one of our practitioners, your GP needs to provide you with two documents:

​

1. A referral letter addressed to Anthony Hansen Counselling, and

2. A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP)

​

If you have a MHCP, you will need to pay the full standard consultation fee upfront on the day of your appointment. Medicare rebates will be processed immediately for you, so that funds will be returned into your back account as soon as possible (usually within 1 business day). Please ensure you have your Medicare card details with you.​

​

(2) Private Health Insurance

​

Many private health funds offer payment towards psychological services with registered counsellors and/or mental health social workers. This is dependent on the insurer and level of cover.
