    At Energetics Institute, we are committed to helping and guiding our clients, towards embodied growth and healing. Please note that we do not offer bulk billing services. While we do not provide bulk billing, we prioritize accessibility and affordability, so we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals seeking support for their mental wellbeing.

    What is Bulk Billing?

    Bulk billing means you can access medical services without directly paying the health practitioner. Instead, the medical service provider bills Medicare directly and obtains full payment for the service provided. This arrangement significantly reduces out-of-pocket expenses for patients, as Medicare covers the bill on your behalf.

    Bulk billing is more commonly associated with general practitioners (GPs) than for psychology and counselling. If you wish to book an appointment with a bulk-billing practitioner, be prepared for potentially longer wait times and the necessity to have low or no income.

    Medicare Rebates vs. Bulk Billing Medicare

    While Medicare rebates help make therapy more affordable for Australians, patients should be prepared for potential out-of-pocket expenses when accessing mental health services. It’s essential to discuss fees and rebate amounts with the mental health professional upfront to understand the cost implications and explore any available options for reducing out-of-pocket costs. As we are psychotherapists and not psychologists, we are not registered as Medicare providers.

    Private Health vs. Bulk Billing

    Private health insurance can also provide coverage for psychology and counselling services, depending on your level of cover. This can offer an alternative source of financial assistance beyond Medicare. At the moment, our therapists are not registered as private health providers.

    Fully Private Care

    Many therapists opt for private fee structures rather than participating in government-assisted or private insurance rebate systems. This allows them to maintain full control over their pricing and service offerings. Clients should consider their individual needs and preferences when choosing between therapists with private fees and those who participate in rebate systems.
