Fees and Rebates
Fees:
The standard consultation fee for a 50 minute session with David is $170. A discount may be applicable for full-time students, health care card holders, and individuals on a disability pension.
Medicare rebate:
You may be eligible to receive a Medicare rebate of $124.50 per session, resulting in an out-of-pocket expense of $45.50 per session. Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. For more information about this, please see the following website from the Australian Psychological Society.
To be eligible for a rebate, you will need to book a long consultation appointment with your GP and obtain both a referral to Dr David Nguyen and a Mental Health Care Plan. Please bring your referral letter and Mental Health Care Plan to your first appointment or email them to David (dpnpsychology@gmail.com).
Private health insurance
If you have private health insurance with a major fund, you may be eligible to rebates for psychological sessions. Please note that some health funds will only provide rebates when Medicare rebates (see above) are used up for the year. Please contact your private health fund to find out what you can receive.
