Pathways to Counselling with Simon

Simon 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, which allows people to access a rebate from Medicare if they have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP).

Simon charges on a sliding scale based on income and circumstance. His rates are listed below:

Simon’s Rates:

Service Rate
Individual Counselling $240 per 50 minutes
(after $137.05 rebate from Medicare, this leaves $102.95 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 Simon for private counselling. For private counselling, Simon’s rates are as above but excluding the Medicare rebate.

If you are seeing Simon 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 Simon, you should contact your insurer directly. Please note that most insurers will not provide a rebate for counselling if you are also getting a rebate from Medicare with a MHCP.
