Please note that while TMS sessions are bulk billed to Medicare, there will be a fee for assessment, mapping sessions, and reviews at mid-treatment and at the end of treatment. Please call us for further information.
The assessment session allows the psychiatrist to determine your suitability for TMS.
If you are deemed unsuitable and don’t have a treating psychiatrist, the TMS psychiatrist can recommend alternative treatment options.
If you have significant financial hardship and are unable to afford the psychiatrist’s gap fee, please call us to discuss options.
