Root Down Service Fee Schedule

At Root Down Horticultural Therapy and Counselling, I am committed to providing accessible and high-quality therapeutic services tailored to meet your needs. My fee structure is designed to ensure you receive the best care and value for your investment in your wellbeing.

Fees and Rebates for Root Down Counselling Services:

At Root Down, I strive to provide accessible and transparent counselling services. Here’s a brief overview of my fees and your options for claiming rebates:

Private Health Insurance: You may be eligible for rebates under Extras cover through your private health insurance. As policies vary, please check with your insurer regarding your specific entitlements. After your session, you can submit your invoice to your health fund for reimbursement if eligible.

Medicare Rebates: My counselling services are not eligible for Medicare rebates, as these are reserved for psychologists and social workers. While the Medicare rebate might appear advantageous, it often limits the flexibility of treatment options. At Root Down, I offer personalised, effective counselling without the constraints of specific government-mandated modalities. My fees are similar to the out of pocket fees you would financially experience for psychologists and social workers once the Medicare rebate is taken into account offering you the choice of therapy that best suits you at minimal financial difference.

NDIS Participants – Improved Daily Living Skills

At Root Down, I offer tailored support under the NDIS for participants looking to enhance their daily living skills. My services fall under the Improved Daily Living Skills category (Outcome Domain: Daily Living) and are designed to help you develop or increase your skills and capacity for greater independence and community participation. This includes:

-Assessment and Recommendations: Comprehensive evaluations to identify your unique needs and strengths.

-Therapy and Strategy Development: Customised therapeutic interventions and strategies to support your growth and independence.

-Training: Practical training sessions to help you apply new skills in everyday life.

My services are provided under NDIS line item 15_043_0128_1_3 (Assessment, Recommendation, Therapy, or Training by a Counsellor). Whether you are seeking to enhance your capacity for daily living or improve your community participation, I am here to support you on your journey.
