How it works at Palms Allied Health
How it works at Palms Allied Health
Book your session – Let reception know you are using a Care Plan referral.
Pay upfront – You’ll pay our consult fee on the day.
Instant rebate – We process the $61.80 Medicare rebate directly through Nookal. It usually lands back in your bank account the same day.
Gap payment explained – Most clients choose longer sessions (30–60 minutes), which attract a small gap.
Bulk-billing option
Bulk-billing option
We understand healthcare costs can be challenging. That’s why we offer bulk-billed Care Plan sessions for clients experiencing financial hardship:
20-minute sessions only.
Available weekdays (Monday to Friday) between 10am–2pm (off-peak hours).
Ideal for quick reviews or check-ins, not full assessments or complex therapy.
For most people, a 30-minute physiotherapy/exercise session or a 45–60 minute speech/OT session provides much more value. Our team will help you choose the option that best fits your needs.
