Medicare (Mental Health Care Plans)

Psychotherapists and counsellors are not presently recognised as 'allied health professionals' (by Medicare) when it comes to determining who can provide Medicare benefits under a mental health care plan. However, you may find that my rate ($95 per 60 minute session) is comparable to the out-of-pocket ('gap') that you might have to pay to a clinical psychologist under a mental health care plan.

LifeWorks
​(Employee Assistance Program)

You may have access (through your employer) to free counselling.

​For example, if you are an employee of the Queensland Department of Education or Goodstart Early Learning, you and your family will be entitled to free counselling services. Check your employee intranet or talk to your human resources team to find which Employee Assistance Program (EAP) service your employer uses. 
 
Cassowary Coast Counselling is an approved provider of in-person and telephone counselling for LifeWorks (LifeWorks by Morneau Shepell).

​

If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, you will not be penalised

Life is often busy and unpredictable and as such, I believe that you should be able to cancel or reschedule your session without it costing you money. All I ask, is that you let me know by calling or messaging me at your earliest convenience; this way I will be able to make the time available for another.

​Please do not email me in the event that you need to cancel your session
