Fees and Rebates

Fees

Your first appointment will be $200 for 60-75 minutes and follow up sessions are $160 for 45-60 minutes. 

Referrals

You do not need a referral for us to work together.  ​However, if you would like to claim Medicare rebates, you will need a Chronic Disease Management Plan or Eating Disorder Plan from your GP.  If you are seeking support for an eating disorder,  please ensure you have a GP and psychologist as part of your health care team.

Rebates

Please note that I do not bulk bill appointments.

​If you have a chronic disease, you can claim Medicare rebates of $60.30 per consultation (up to 5 visits) if you are referred by your GP via a Chronic Disease Management Plan. 

If you have an eating disorder, you can claim Medicare rebates of $60.30 per consultation (up to 20 visits) if you are referred by your GP or psychiatrist via an Eating Disorder Plan.  
​​
Please speak with your GP to determine if you are eligible for either plan.  Click here if you would like to learn more about how to obtain an Eating Disorder Plan and some helpful tips to keep in mind.  
Please check with your private health insurer to determine your level of cover and eligibility for rebates.  You will be provided with a copy of your appointment invoice to provide to your private health insurer to process if eligible.
​It is not possible to claim a Medicare and private health insurance rebate on the same consultation.

NDIS

NDIS referrals are accepted for both self managed and plan managed plans.  Body Confident Nutrition is not a registered provider so is unable to accept NDIA managed plans.  Please get in touch for more information if you are interested in using your NDIS funding for working together.

Payment

Payment will be taken at the end of each appointment via credit or debit card. Full payment is required at the time of your appointment.  Medicare rebates will be processed following your appointment, and an invoice will be provided for you to claim your private health insurance rebate if eligible.

Cancellation

Please make contact at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment if you need to cancel or reschedule. If you cancel following this time or you don't attend, you will be charged the full amount of your missed appointment.
This fee is required before further appointments can be made and is not covered by Medicare or your private health insurance fund.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which I live and work, the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin nation.  I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging, and extend this to all traditional owners of country throughout Australia.  I recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.

I celebrate, value and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, bodies and abilities.
