Rae consults at Apple Tree Medical, Smithfield on Thursday's, and can provide psychological interventions via Telehealth Monday-Wednesday. Rae has immediate availability for appointments due to just moving to FNQ.
​
If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from a doctor, psychiatrist, or paediatrician you will be eligible for medicare rebates toward up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
​
If you have NDIS, Return to Work, or DVA funding for psychological treatment we can charge the relevant places directly.
​
Your private health insurance may also cover some of the fees, and so a receipt of payment will be provided so you can make a claim with your private health provider.
​
Additionally, patients are also welcome to pay the fee privately if they prefer. ​
Rae's fees:
​Individual sessions are of 60 minutes duration, and cost $243, or $208 for Healthcare Card holders. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP you can receive up to 10 Medicare rebates of $145.25 per calendar year, which is refunded back into your account immediately when you pay using a debit bank card (meaning you will pay a $97.75 or $58.15 gap fee respectively).
​
Couples sessions: $309 for a 60 minute appointment. Some private health funds cover psychological interventions for couples.
​​
Patients whose sessions are paid for by Return to Work SA, DVA and NDIS will be charged in line with the corresponding fee schedule for those organisations.
​​​
​Full payment is required on the day of service. If you have private health and attend in person we can process your claim and you can pay the gap only. Alternatively, a receipt can be provided to you so that you can claim your sessions through your private health if you prefer to obtain a rebate that way.
