Fees and NDIS Funding
Session Fees
Standard therapy sessions (50mins) are
$257 per session. If you obtain a Mental Health Care Plan from your treating GP you can be provided with a Medicare rebate of $101.55 for up to 10 sessions per calendar year, making the out-of-pocket cost
$155.45 per 50 minute session.
*NOTE: We are NOT a Bulk Billing Practice
Clients without a Mental Health Care Plan will be charged the full session fee. Some
private health funds provide a rebate for psychology services, please check with your
individual provider.
For more information about psychologist fees in Australia please visit the APS or AAPI
websites.
Assessment Fees
Pricing is dependent on the type of assessment required. We aim to cater to the specific needs of each client. As such,
please contact the practice for a individualised quote.
NDIS Funding
Plan-managed and self-managed funds only. Please confirm that sufficient funding is available and that the proposed service can be claimed under the participant’s plan before assessment begins.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that life can be busy and that you may need to reschedule your appointment from time to time. We do our best to be flexible, however due to the nature
of psychology sessions, it is difficult to fill a cancelled spot at short notice.
*NOTE: Cancellations made with less than
24 hours notice/1 business day and
48 hours/2 business days for NDIS as per the Government guidelines (Mon-Fri), will incur the full fee of the session.
To help you avoid incurring the cancellation fee, you will receive a reminder email 5 days before your appointment, and then a second reminder email and a text 2 days before.
We appreciate your understanding.
Government and Private Health Rebates
Information on Medicare rebates and
Private Health rebates...
Medicare Rebates
Medicare’s Better Access to Mental Health initiative is a government scheme that
provides a partial rebate on psychology sessions to people with mental health
symptoms. To be eligible, you must receive a referral letter and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician, which you can then pass on to your psychologist.
By receiving a referral and a Mental Health Care Plan, you will be entitled to a rebate
from Medicare for part of each session fee. You will be eligible for this rebate on up to 10
sessions per calendar year (Jan-Dec). This rebate only applies to individual psychology
sessions – unfortunately couples therapy and psychometric assessments are not
eligible for Medicare rebate.
For further information, you can visit the Australian Psychological Society and the
Department of Health websites.
Private Health Insurance Rebates
If you have Private Health insurance, you may be eligible for rebates on some sessions.
Private Health rebates will depend on your specific cover, so please check with your
insurance provider.
*NOTE: Keep in mind that you CAN NOT claim both Medicare and Private Health fund rebates for the same session.
