What's covered, and what's not

Medicare

Generally not covered. Rebates apply only if you see a registered psychologist or accredited mental-health social worker, not a counsellor.

Private health

Many funds rebate counselling under extras cover. Check your fund and the counsellor's provider recognition.

Other options

Some counsellors offer sliding-scale fees, or sessions funded through NDIS or a workplace EAP. Ask the practice.

Because counselling is mostly paid out of pocket, the session fee is the clearest number to compare - there is no subsidy evening out the differences. Fees below are as published by each practice.
