Do I need a referral to make an appointment?

To schedule an appointment with us at Australian Healthcare Alliance, a referral is not mandatory. However, if you intend to claim a Medicare rebate for your sessions, you will require a referral and care plan from your GP or paediatrician. This care plan should specify the services for which you are eligible, such as a Mental Health Care Plan or Chronic Disease GP Management Plan.

For those seeking Medicare rebates for Allied Health services a referral and an Enhanced Primary Care Plan or Chronic Disease GP Management Plan from your GP are necessary.

If you aim to claim rebates through your Private Health Fund, please be informed that we do not process HICAPs rebates on-site, and standard private session fees will apply. Prior to scheduling your appointment, we advise you to verify your Health Fund's rebates and eligibility criteria.

Additionally, please note that we are not a bulk billing practice and out of pocket fees do apply.
