A referral from your GP is not necessary for self referral appointment as no Medicare rebate or health insurance claim is being made.
When booking your appointment, please select this appointment type only if:
1. You do not want to claim a rebate or claim through Medicare or Private Health Insurance.
2. You intend to pay the full session fees yourself.
Please be aware that once you have attended your session, your chosen payment method will be charged the total session fee plus transaction fee. You will be provided with an invoice via email upon full payment being received.
