Is homeopathy covered by Medicare?

Homeopathy consultations in Australia are generally not covered by Medicare. This is one of the most common questions people ask before booking, and the short answer is that you should expect to pay privately unless your private health fund has a relevant extras benefit.

What is included?

A good consultation fee should cover more than a conversation. At Helpful Homoeopathy, the initial fee includes preparation from your intake form, a detailed online session, practitioner review after the appointment, and a written plan with remedy choices, dosage, lifestyle notes, and review timing.

Are remedies included?

Remedies are usually supplied through established Australian homoeopathic pharmacies and may be charged separately by the pharmacy. This keeps dispensing clear and allows remedies to be posted directly to you.
