Concessions

Counselling, Psychotherapy and Holistic Therapies such as NLP and Hypnosis are not covered under Medicare. Mental Health disorders come under the direction of psychologists and they will accept a MHCP from your GP. We do not. In order to remain competitive, Ghita Andersen offers a discount for GP letters of referral: Around 20% off your fee. You can expect to pay $80. It covers counselling only. Specialist services are not covered by this concession.

Please check below and see if you are eligible for a GP Referral, Student, Seniors or NDIS Rate before booking. These must be booked online and evidence of your card or letter is required.
