BULK-BILLING
If you have a mental health plan and a referral letter from your GP, you may be eligible for bulk-billing*.
The following clients may be bulk-billed at Grow Psychology: we keep a certain proportion of places for bulk-billing but these are capped to avoid financial stress for our practice - therefore there may be a longer wait time.
- Those on Centrelink benefits
- Those with a Pension Card
- Those on a Disability Allowance
NDIS
The standard Fee for NDIS sessions is charged - $214.41. This may be directly invoiced if you are plan-managed, or paid by you and then rebated if you are self-managed.
