Medicare & Costs
TMS and Medicare
Since November 2021, Medicare has rebated TMS for adults with treatment-resistant depression: an initial course of up to 35 sessions, with retreatment rebates if you responded. The quick check below tells you in thirty seconds whether you are likely to qualify.
Medicare & Costs
Rebated by Medicare. Confirmed for You
- Medicare and DVA have funded TMS for treatment-resistant depression since November 2021
- An initial course of up to 35 sessions is funded, with a further 15 possible at your psychiatrist's discretion after four months
- A referral from your GP or psychiatrist is all you need to bring; we confirm eligibility at the assessment
Not eligible for the rebate, no Medicare card, or under 18? Self-funded courses are available, subject to the same clinical criteria and a psychiatric assessment. Ask at your consultation and we will give you a clear answer on cost before you commit.
