Confidentiality
Everything you share with your counsellor is treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
There are, however, a few legal and ethical exceptions where your information may be disclosed:
-
If there is a risk of serious harm to you or someone else
-
If you disclose involvement in a serious crime
-
If we are legally required to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legislative request
Outside of these rare circumstances, your information is private and will never be shared without your clear and written consent.
For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.
Medicare Rebates
At this time, counselling services are not covered under Medicare. As a privately billed practice, you do not need a GP referral to see us. Clients are welcome to self-refer and book directly for any of our individual, couples, or family counselling services.
We believe that access to support should be simple and flexible; without the need to navigate referral systems or eligibility criteria.
Private Health Insurance Rebates
Depending on your health fund and level of cover, you may be eligible for a rebate on counselling services. We recommend contacting your private health insurer directly to confirm what’s included in your policy.
*Please note that rebates vary depending on your provider and level of extras cover.
