Referrals and Pricing
We are a private clinic, and as such, we do have a gap fee (the difference between what you pay and what you are reimbursed by Medicare). Our gap fees are much lower than APS-recommended fees.
​
As each therapist has different rebate amounts available, please contact us for pricing.
​
We can see patients with a referral from a GP under Medicare (Better Access) or from a Paediatrician. This will provide you with a rebate from Medicare.
​
We can also see patients under NDIS, TAC, Workcover and DVA.
​
You are also welcome to attend without a referral.
​
Payments are expected prior to, or on the day of your appointment, by EFT (no card facilities are available).
Please note, we have a fee for late cancellations and no-shows, as part of our service agreement.
