Depending on your level of cover, some private health insurance policies may rebate some of the costs of psychological and counselling services. Like other health services, your health fund will usually pay a percentage of the cost and you will be required to pay the balance.

 

Your mental health service provider may need to be registered with your health fund for you to receive the rebate, so you should check this with your provider or your health fund before booking an appointment.

 

Additionally, the waiting periods, rebate amounts, and annual limits will vary from fund to fund, so this is also something you should check with your health fund before scheduling in your sessions.

 

Further information can be found at www.privatehealth.gov.au and by contacting your health fund directly.​​
