The 51-year-old aesthetics doctor was receiving $1 a month following a High Court ruling in March.
She went to the Court of Appeal to ask for this monthly sum to be raised to $2,000, and filed additional evidence relating to her recent diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer.
This included medical certification, copies of medical receipts and a summary of her clinic's sales between March and September.
