Please contact us by phone: 03 51609933 or by email at admin@axonhealth.com.au .
Do you provide counselling for children?

I've been referred for a Psychiatrist consultation, is that the same?
If you are seeking any diagnostic assessment or medication review or prescribing, please contact our reception to book with our Consultant Psychiatrist or arrange an assessment. Our counselling team is made up of clinicians who focus on offering psychological therapies and counselling support.
How long does is the wait list?
Our waiting times vary depending on the service you are seeking and your preferred days and times. Generally, if you have very limited availability for counselling, this may extend your wait time until a clinician is available at your preferred time. You can help keep waitlists down by ensuring you attend regularly and if you need to change your appointment or cannot attend, you let us know as soon as possible.
What is the cost for counselling/psychological therapy?
Our fees vary depending on which service, and funding your may have from a third party and which clinician you see. Please call or email our reception for an up to date quote for your services. Some of our clinicians accept Mental Health Plan referrals which may mean a Medicare rebate can be claimed. Some of our clinician services can be claimed with Private Health Insurance. Please check with reception when booking your appointment.
Is there any Bulk Billing (no cost) services?
We are unable to Bulk Bill counselling or Psychological Therapy Services. This is due to the Medicare rebate not keeping pace with our costs of running a clinic.
If you will experience financial difficulty please discuss this with us when booking or you may wish to consult your GP for referral elsewhere.
Is there Telehealth available and how does it work?
Our clinicians can offer Telehealth appointments or in-person services, depending on what you prefer. For telehealth, we use a secure, easy-to-use video call platform that you can use from home or another private space.
I have funding for counselling, how do I arrange services to be billed to someone else?
Please email us at admin@axonhealth.com.au or phone 03 51609933 during our business hours. We will require confirmation that your funding organisation has agreed to pay for your appointments. Please be aware you may be charged full fee if your funding organisation refuses our invoices.
