Tara is AMAZING I honestly can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning of my journey trying to fall pregnant, right through to around 36 weeks, she supported me every step of the way. Every single session I walked out feeling like I was floating, so relaxed, grounded and taken care of. It became something I genuinely looked forward to each week that then followed to each month. She is incredibly knowledgeable, calming, and truly cares about her clients. I absolutely loved my experience and recommend acupuncture to anyone who is trying to get pregnant, it made such a difference for me.
Tara has supported me through various stages of my fertility journey and I wholeheartedly believe her care played a significant role in having my little one earthside. I initially saw Tara for help regulating my hormones and to help calm my mind, but she soon became a reference for all things health and wellbeing, and was a brilliant support to me throughout my pregnancy. The care Tara has shown me over the 1.5 years I’ve seen her is second to none and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Tara helped me through endometriosis symptoms/pain and it really worked. Being sceptical I was willing to try anything and she helped me lessen my symptoms. She really listened to every single little aspect and genuinely is such a beautiful person and practitioner. Highly recommended!
I cannot speak highly enough of the care I’ve received from Tara over the years of seeing her! She has supported me through pre and post pregnancy and her depth of knowledge combined with a gentle, intuitive approach has always made me feel taken care of. I am incredibly grateful for her support and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, skilled, and caring acupuncture treatment.
I started seeing Tara for fertility support and general wellbeing and from the very first session I felt supported with my goals and I had instant trust that Tara was going to help me get where I wanted. Tara creates a safe environment where you feel seen and heard, she is warm and kind, supportive and nurturing and she explains everything she’s doing and what’s happening in your body in a really accessible, easy to understand way. The difference I saw and felt in my energy, sleep, digestion and overall wellbeing in just a few weeks was incredible, and she helped me to get pregnant! I always look forward to my appointments with Tara and I cannot recommend her more highly.

QHow much does a session cost at Dr. Tara Hanaphy (tcm)?
Fees are not listed here, so it is worth asking when you book. Across fifteen Australian clinics that publish their prices, an initial consultation runs $100 to $190, with most sitting between $105 and $145. Follow-up sessions run $50 to $130, most commonly $80 to $120.
The first appointment costs more almost everywhere, typically $20 to $40 more, because it includes a case history alongside the treatment and usually runs longer. Roughly a quarter of clinics will not quote you a full price list online.
Three things worth asking on the same call: whether herbs or cupping are charged separately — they usually are — whether the clinic offers on-the-spot health fund claiming, and what the cancellation policy is, because some charge a full session fee inside 24 hours.

QCan I claim a session at Dr. Tara Hanaphy (tcm) on Medicare or private health?
Private health, usually yes. Acupuncture sits under natural therapies on most extras policies, generally pooled with remedial massage under one shared annual limit. As an example of the shape, HCF's Top Extras pays $40 a visit with an annual limit rising from $300 to $500 by year three, and nib's Top Extras pays 75% back against a $400 combined limit. Waiting periods of two months are standard. Recognition is fund-by-fund, so check that this practitioner is recognised by your fund before booking.
Medicare, only if your practitioner is a doctor. The four MBS acupuncture items all require a medical practitioner.
