You will be provided with a receipt to submit to your private health fund. Medicare rebates will be reviewed by Medicare and published on 1st July 2025.
Late cancellation fees will remain at $150 for cancellations made within 48 hours of session time. If you have any concerns or questions, please discuss this at your next session.
