*Clients with a GP mental health care plan receive Medicare rebates of $86.15 for individual sessions. A GP mental health care plan entitles clients to a rebate for 6-10 individual counselling sessions per calendar year. Discuss with Richard during your first session, or discuss with your GP prior. You must bring your medicare card and a GP referral to your first session to obtain your rebate. The Medicare rebate is for psychological counseling sessions only and is not for life coaching services.
