Rebates
Private health insurance
Some private health funds offer rebates for counselling with an ACA Registered Counsellor under extras cover. I’m a Registered Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (Proficient level).
Before booking, call your fund and ask whether your extras cover includes counselling with an ACA Registered Counsellor, and how much you can claim per session.
Medicare
Is counselling covered by Medicare?
Medicare rebates under a Mental Health Treatment Plan generally apply to sessions with psychologists, mental health social workers and occupational therapists, not counsellors.
Many people choose counselling because there is no referral, waitlist or session limit. If you need Medicare-rebated sessions, your GP can talk with you about your options.
