Our programme pricing is based on individual assessment and information provided through our medical health screen and history questionnaire. While we have estimated pricing (request a pricing guide below) based on a 3 week residential stay, each programme is tailored to meet your individual needs.

Once the health screen questionnaire has been completed our team can then tailor a complete residential treatment programme to meet all of your needs.

Factors that can influence cost

• presenting symptoms
• DAS and ACE scoring
• PTSD or trauma exposure
• lifestyle factors (nutrition, exercise, sleep, drugs and alcohol)
• duration of stay (can be influenced by therapy programs such as MeRTsm)
• food requirements
• specific therapy required
• family or network of support

Basic Treatment Guide

4 Phases

We begin with:

1. Health Screen: a thorough health screen with a secure online questionnaire.  This covers every aspect of mental and physical health together with DAS21 and ACE testing.

2. Discovery and Treatment: once you begin the discovery phase, see timeline below, we will initiate testing, therapies and connect in with your current medical practitioners for recent findings (bloods, scans, assessments)

3. Residential: once the discovery phase has been completed we will tailor a complete treatment solution based on findings and your individual needs.

4. Lifestyle Integration: after 3 weeks (typical) residential we support you back home with ongoing therapy, diet & nutrition, self-care techniques, continued gut restoration, lifestyle coaching and goal setting with case management to see outcomes through.

There are components of a programme that can be covered by private health insurance, however, the entire programme is not covered as Goodsky is not a hospital.

These components include

• Osteopathy
• Dietetics
• Exercise Physiology
• Remedial Massage
• Psychotherapy & Counselling
• Pilates
• Acupuncture

Please check with your fund to find out if any of the above are covered and your level of cover.

There are circumstances where the ATO will approve access or release of superannuation to help pay for a programme.  Everyones case and situation is different but the link below is the form you will need to get started.

Some parts of a programme will be covered by Medicare, such as:

• Pathology requests
• Referred for scans/x-rays
• IV transfusions

There is also Medicare subsidised components such as psychotherapy.  In order to get 10 sessions of psychotherapy subsidised you will need to obtain a mental health care plan from your GP.

How to get a mental health care plan

• Simply talk to your GP about your concerns with anxiety, stress or depression and request a mental health care plan
• Your GP will ask if you have a therapist preference or they can make suggestions to local practitioners.
• Subsidies normally equate to about $80 per session

If you are a veteran your programme can be covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs or if you are a federal police officer or employee you can also make an application to Comcare.

Both situations require a quote from Goodsky and written support from 2 registered medical practitioners one of which needs to be a specialist.

Please contact us for a tailored, holistic and shared care programme that meets your individual needs and we can assist you with applications and supporting documentation.
