PRIVATE HEALTH FUND REBATES
Changes to legislation taken effect as at 1st April 2019 cut a range of natural therapies from private health cover rebates, including Naturopathy. As a result of this implemented legislation change, I am unable to offer a rebate on my Naturopathic consultation services.
