Make an Appointment
If you have gender, sexuality or physical sexual functioning concerns, please contact us. If you have not had a reply from Dr Tudor after 2 working days, please text: 0400 604 104.
Consulting days (office hours only) are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Appointments on other days may be possible by special arrangement.
Phone consultations can be arranged, however, this form of consultation does not attract a Medicare rebate – therefore phone consultations involve a greater out of pocket cost compared to face to face consultations.
Fees
Initial appointments need to be longer than subsequent sessions.
A 75 – 90 minute initial appointment is $280. The Medicare rebate (Item number 123) is $197.90.
Subsequent 60 min sessions are $250. The Medicare rebate (Item number 44) is $122.15.
A couple therapy session lasting 60 minutes: the Medicare rebate (Item number 170) is $133.95. If the session involves comprehensive medical assessment of one of the people, then an Item number 123 may apply.
Concession card holders and students receive a $30 discount: the initial and subsequent consultations are $250.
Follow up appointments may be required (particularly for couples) and this is something to be discussed during the first appointment. Dr Tudor’s medical sexology knowledge and over 32 years of sex and relationships therapy experience enable her to help people efficiently.
Some people may feel uncomfortable speaking about sexual issues with their family GP. As you are entitled to receive a Medicare rebate when you consult with Dr Tudor, you do not need a referral from your doctor.
A Mental Health Care Plan is NOT required.
Bulk billing is not available.
In matters of your general health Dr Tudor is unable to treat you in the capacity of your own GP. She is able to work with your GP and communicate with them regarding suggested investigations to ensure that you receive the best possible care and follow up.

Cancellation Policy
I understand that things may come up and that you may need to change our session times. Whilst I am happy to accommodate your needs please note that I require 24 office hours’ notice for a cancellation or rescheduling. To cover costs, a late cancellation fee ($170) applies unless there are exceptional circumstances (e.g. Coronavirus symptoms, the provision of a medical certificate or an emergency).
