Understanding therapy fees and cancellation policies
Cost clarity is part of informed choice. Ask for the full appointment price, session duration, payment arrangements and policy for missed sessions.
The essential things to know
A practitioner may offer reduced-fee places, but these vary. Medicare and private health fund coverage also vary by specific service and professional eligibility.
How to use this information
Written terms can help you compare providers without surprises. Ask how much notice is required to cancel and whether telehealth sessions cost the same.
A useful next step
If affordability changes, raise it early; suitable lower-cost or public options may be available.
If you are unsure what kind of provider is most appropriate, a GP or a recognised professional register can be a useful independent starting point.
Taking the next step
If you would like to explore an appointment, you can send a contact-only enquiry. We ask only for the details needed to respond about a possible introduction. This does not book or confirm a clinical appointment.
For a diagnosis, urgent need or health concerns, start with your GP or an appropriate health service. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 000.
