Rebate Options
At this point in time psychotherapists are unable to obtain a Medicare number to provide rebates.
However, the hourly rate is similar and often less than the gap after seeing a psychologist.
Many private health funds are covering counselling and psychotherapy: Medibank Private, Bupa, ARHG HCF, and AHM.
Prue Chambers has provider numbers for all of these providers for online and face to face session options.
Another option is talking to your accountant, you may be able to claim back your therapy as a tax deduction.
