COSTS
First visit $138 (allows 45 mins with client plus practitioner notes/report/admin time )
Extended/Complex care visit $138 (allows 45 mins with client plus practitioner report/liason/session planning time)
Return visit $105 (approx 30-40 mins depending on need, allow some wiggle room)
(no concession rates)
Cancellations/Rescheduling: Please don’t hesitate to reschedule if you are unwell. Late cancellations that cannot be filled may be charged $40.
Private Health: pay in full with rebates self processed once receipt given.
EPC/Medicare - eligibility/referral is determined by your GP and paperwork must be received prior to the first visit. A Gap Fee applies.
The full consultation cost is charged upfront, with the rebate self processed as per your fund. If on a GP Plan, the Medicare rebate of $53.80 goes towards the cost of your appointment, leaving a gap amount that you will cover. eg the out of pocket cost for your first appointment may be $140 - $53.80 = $86.20
No TAC/WORKCOVER at this stage.
Home Care packages - can be arranged with your Home Care Co-ordinator (either in clinic or home visit). Home visits - Travel charged at .85cents per km PLUS travel time charged at practitioner rate ($155 per hour).
eg a home visit to Yambuk would be 15mins each way, 18km: $77.50 (travel time) plus $30.60 (travel .85 cents per km) plus $155 consult/notes time = $263.10
This serves as a guide for those who have Home Care funding. Ideally, attending clinic is more economical where possible but home visits are an option.
