MEDICARE REBATES AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

As a Consultant Psychiatrist Brendan’s work is supported by ongoing Medicare rebates that enable ongoing sessions (up to 52 each year). This allows a safe holding space to develop that can enable deeper work if indicated. Additionally the Medicare Safety Net provides higher rebates for out of pocket expenses with longer-term treatment so that out of pocket expenses for clients are considerably reduced over time.
