Pathways to Counselling with Janet

 Janet provides counselling to those who wish to pay privately, or to those who are eligible for a rebate from Medicare through the Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative. If you visit your GP for a referral, known as a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP), you will be able to access a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.

Janet’s Rates:

Service Rate
Individual Counselling $257 per 50-minute session
(after a $145.25 rebate from Medicare, this leaves $111.75 out of pocket expense)

If you are not eligible for a MHCP, or have used all the sessions in your MHCP for this calendar year, you can see Janet for private counselling (paying privately for the entire cost of the session). For private counselling, Janet’s rates are as above but excluding the Medicare rebate.

If you are seeing Janet for private counselling and you have private health insurance, you may be able to receive a rebate from your private health insurer. However, this will depend on your insurance provider and your level of cover. If you would like to find out whether you may be able to get money back from your health insurance for seeing Janet, you should contact your insurer directly, and ask about Clinical Psychology coverage. Please note insurers will not provide a rebate for a session if you are already getting a rebate from Medicare with a MHCP.
