Fees and Payments
Stella Bowring Psychology is not a bulk billing practice. Our fee for a 50 minute session is $220.00. You do not require a Mental Health referral from a General Practitioner or Psychiatrist; however, if you do you will be eligible for a rebate of $131.65 per session. Clients are eligible for 10 rebatable sessions per calendar year.
Punctuality, Cancellation and Non-Attendance
Punctuality
Please be advised that, should you arrive late for your appointment, the duration of the session will unfortunately be less than the appointed time and may reduce the efficiency of treatment.
Rescheduling, Cancellation and Non-Attendance
As a psychologist, I value your time and our sessions. I ask that you please value my time. I understand that emergencies occur and you may need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. I respectfully ask for cancellations and rescheduled appointments be done so with at least 24 hours' notice. I will always support what you need to do to take care of yourself and your family. However, barring life threatening emergencies, if you are unable to provide the 24 hours' advance notice, the full fee of $220.00 will be payable. In these circumstances, you are unable to claim the $131.65 rebate from Medicare.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
