Fees, rebates and what to expect
ReMed's fees are published up front: an Initial Health Review starts from $242 for 60 minutes, subsequent consultations from $149 for 30 minutes, extended consultations from $209 for 45 minutes, and acute consultations from $95 for 15 minutes. Our practitioners work in experience-based tiers, so consultations start from these prices and reception confirms the exact fee when you book. The same fees apply at the Bundoora clinic and by telehealth. Medicare does not cover naturopathy; some private health extras policies rebate it, and HICAPS at the clinic lets you claim on the spot. Here is how each appointment is used in the way we work, and what testing costs sit outside these fees.

Initial Health Review
60 minutes · from $242
Your child's full story, from pregnancy to last week: history, current supports, prior results and what has already been tried. You leave with a clear initial direction, and testing is only recommended where it is clinically indicated.
Subsequent consultation
30 minutes · from $149
The working appointment. Your practitioner reviews how your child is responding, adjusts the plan and agrees the next step with you, so care moves with your child instead of staying fixed.
Extended consultation
45 minutes · from $209
Extra time for complex reviews: walking through functional test results together, multi-system presentations, or periods where a lot has changed since the last appointment.
Acute consultation
15 minutes · from $95
A short, focused appointment for time-sensitive concerns that should not wait for a full review. For emergencies, always call 000 or attend your nearest emergency department.
The straight answer on rebates
Medicare does not cover naturopathy or nutrition consultations. No referral changes that, and we will never imply otherwise.
Private health is different: some extras policies rebate naturopathy or nutrition consultations. Cover varies by fund and policy level, so check your extras cover before your first appointment. Where your policy applies, the clinic's HICAPS terminal processes the claim on the spot, so you only pay the gap on the day.
If plans change
Life with kids is unpredictable, and the clinic knows it. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are confirmed with you at the time of booking, so you know exactly where you stand before any appointment is locked in.
If something comes up, call us on (03) 9431 0331 and the reception team will sort it out with you.
Is it worth it?
From $242 for a first appointment is a real decision, especially after you have already paid for appointments that went nowhere. So here is what the fee actually buys: 60 minutes with a practitioner from a team that has spent 19 years working with children like yours, a full history instead of a snapshot, and a plan built for your child rather than a printout built for everyone's child.
It also buys restraint. Testing is recommended only where it is clinically indicated, supplements are not stacked by guesswork, and the plan is adjusted as your child responds. The founder's research on PANS is published in a peer-reviewed journal, and the same data-over-guesswork standard runs through every consultation. If you are weighing it up, read how we work first, or send us an enquiry and ask the question directly. We would rather answer it before you book than after.
Fee questions, answered
No. Medicare does not cover naturopathy or nutrition consultations, and we would rather you hear that from us plainly than discover it at the front desk. Some private health extras policies do include rebates, which is a separate question answered below.
Possibly. Some extras policies rebate naturopathy or nutrition consultations, and cover varies a lot between funds and policy levels, so check your extras cover with your fund before your first appointment. Where your policy does cover it, HICAPS at the clinic lets you claim on the spot.
The Initial Health Review runs 60 minutes and starts from $242. ReMed practitioners work in experience-based tiers, so the exact fee depends on who you see, and reception will confirm it when you book. The appointment covers your child's full history rather than a 10-minute snapshot: the presenting concerns, the timeline, diet, sleep, prior results and the supports already in place. From there your practitioner outlines a direction, including whether any functional testing is clinically indicated.
No, the fees above cover consultation time only. Functional testing, practitioner-only supplements and herbal medicines are charged separately, and testing is only recommended where it is clinically indicated for your child, never as a default.
