Fees and Medicare rebate

Wesley Psychological Services charges clients just $10 over the Medicare rebate fee.

In order to receive the Medicare rebate, clients will need to visit their GP for an assessment to determine whether they are eligible for a Mental Health Care plan (Item 2710). With a Mental Health Care Plan, clients are entitled to a Medicare rebate for a maximum of 10 individual sessions per calendar year. Please call if you need more information on this. EFTPOS Medicare is available.

Clients who are not eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan can still use the service but will need to pay the full cost of the session or consider using Private Health Insurance.
