At Wiser Ways, we want to make accessing support as straightforward as possible. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for rebates on counselling and therapy sessions.
Mental Health Care Plan Rebates
If you have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP or treating health professional, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for individual counselling or therapy sessions.
How it works:
- Speak to your GP or treating health professional about your mental health needs.
- If appropriate, they can provide you with a Mental Health Care Plan.
- Book your session at Wiser Ways and present your MHCP.
- You may be able to claim a rebate from Medicare, reducing the out-of-pocket cost for your sessions.
Please note, the amount you can claim depends on your plan and the number of sessions available under Medicare. Typically, you can receive 10 sessions per calander year, however, you should speak directly to your health professional about rebate eligibility.
Private Health Insurance Rebates
Some private health funds may offer rebates for counselling or mental health services. Rebates, coverage, and eligibility vary between funds, so it’s best to check directly with your provider before booking a session.
Making Your Appointment
When you book with Wiser Ways, let us know if you intend to use a Mental Health Care Plan or private health rebate. We can guide you on the necessary steps and provide receipts for claiming rebates.
Taking the first step towards support doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right plan in place, counselling can be more accessible and affordable.
