Fee Schedule
Our practice is a private fee practice. Like almost many medical and allied health practices now we cannot afford to bulk bill. The current level of rebate does not cover running costs and enable the practice to make sufficient profit to continue operating. Hence, we unfortunately cannot afford to bulk bill for our psychology services.
