Thanks to the publics incredible efforts, the Government has bowed to public pressure over the axing of natural therapy rebates.

Just days after the removal of health fund rebates for natural therapies came into effect on 1 April, Greg Hunt MP has announced $2 million for updated natural therapy reviews to re-examine which therapies should once again be eligible for Subsidy through the Private Health Insurance rebate.

The review update will also look at removing the 'banned' list so insurers can cover whichever therapies they want, even if they won't attract the Subsidy. 

13,323 members of the public took the time to send a personalised message to Minister Hunt and LNP MPs and Senators. All major parties now recognise this is an important public issue that won't go away. 

The Good News! Recent private health insurance reforms from the Australian Government did not impact health fund rebates for Remedial Massage Therapy. You can continue to claim on massage treatments from our talented team of therapists as per usual. 

The not so good news.... As of April 1st 2019 Naturopathy will no longer be covered under private health insurance policies. Appointments with our Naturopath Emma Tommasini will no longer be eligible for health fund rebates.

Emma would like to offer her regular massage clients who usually claim with their health fund a $10 discount on future 1 hour massage treatments.
