Private Services
Private appointments are available without a GP referral.
Services include mental health occupational therapy, psychotherapy and occupational therapy assessments.

Private Health Insurance
Before booking, check your occupational therapy cover, whether your therapist is recognised, and which appointments are eligible.
Ask about rebates, annual limits and waiting periods. Check telehealth cover separately.
