How does it work?
Book your first consultation
Start by booking a 45-minute telehealth appointment with an UnPause clinician. You need this consult before you can sign up for the monthly membership. The consultation costs $295 and you may be able to claim a Medicare rebate of $125.10. Because a Medicare benefit is available the cost of this consultation can't be claimed through your Menopause support benefit.
