Appointments and Fees

Make an Appointment

If you have gender, sexuality or physical sexual functioning concerns, please contact us. If you have not had a reply from Dr Tudor after 2 working days, please text: 0400 604 104.

Consulting days (office hours only) are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Appointments on other days may be possible by special arrangement.

Phone consultations can be arranged, however, this form of consultation does not attract a Medicare rebate – therefore phone consultations involve a greater out of pocket cost compared to face to face consultations.

Fees

Initial appointments need to be longer than subsequent sessions.

A 75 minute initial appointment is $280.

Subsequent 60 min sessions are $250.

If the appointment goes beyond 75 minutes, each extra 15 minute consulting period may cost a further $65.

All Medicare Card holders are eligible for a Medicare Rebate of $118 (Medicare Item Number 44 – one person) or $129.40 (Medicare Item Number 170 – 2 people, 1 hour consultation) per session.

Please keep in mind that, following the receipt of your Medicare rebate, the out of pocket cost will be in the long run a modest amount well spent. Dr Tudor’s medical sexology knowledge and over 31 years of sex and relationships therapy experience enable her to help people efficiently. Follow up appointments are usually required (particularly for couples) but are optional and can be planned to maximise her assistance whilst keeping your costs to a minimum.

Some people may feel uncomfortable speaking about sexual issues with their family GP. As you are entitled to receive a Medicare rebate when you consult with Dr Tudor, you do not need a referral from your doctor.

A Mental Health Care Plan is NOT required.

Bulk billing is not available.

In matters of your general health Dr Tudor is unable to treat you in the capacity of your own GP. She is able to work with your GP and communicate with them regarding suggested investigations to ensure that you receive the best possible care and follow up.

Emergency 

Whilst your health is a priority, Dr Tudor is not available all office hours or after office hours. If you feel your situation needs immediate and urgent attention, your GP is an excellent first point of call. If you believe you have an urgent mental health concern, the Mental Health Triage Service is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their number is: 13 14 65.

There are other options for urgent help:

Lifeline: 13 11 14

Cancellation Policy

I understand that things may come up and that you may need to change our session times. Whilst I am happy to accommodate your needs please note that I require 24 office hours’ notice for a cancellation or rescheduling.
