Fees and Referrals
Appointments are generally for 50 minutes and cost $250, payable on the day of the appointment. Clients who have a referral and Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from their GP are eligible for a $145.25 Medicare rebate, which leaves an out-of-pocket expense of $104.75 per session.
Clients receiving Centrelink payments as their only form of income and holding a valid health care or concession card can be bulk-billed under Medicare.
Daniel also sees clients under various funding schemes with no gap fees such as DVA, Open Arms, WorkCover QLD, the QPS self-refer program, and the NDIS for self and plan-managed participants.
GP or psychiatrist referrals can be received via email or Medical Objects (Medicare provider number 4992845Y). If you have been provided with a paper copy of your referral you are welcome to scan and email or text a photo of each page to the practice mobile phone number.
Daniel currently takes appointments during business hours only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Appointments can be booked after your referral has been received. Please feel free to enquire about availability or book an appointment via phone, email, or text message. Phone calls can generally be returned within one business day.
Treatment Services

Other therapies provided include dynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
In addition to PTSD, Daniel can assist with problems including depression, anxiety, drug or alcohol problems, grief, and emotional distress related to traumatic experiences. He also has extensive experience working with those struggling with chronic psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia.
