Fees & Rebates

The duration of each session is 50 minutes and full fee payment can be made by either credit card, eftpos or cash at time of consultation. Please contact our practice for the breakdown of our fees which is below the recommended fees set by the Australian Psychological Society.

Fees for psychometric assessments such as IQ or developmental testing are to be determined dependent on the nature of the assessment provided.

You may be eligible to receive a Medicare rebate if you have a current Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from either your GP, Psychiatrist or Paediatrician. You pay the full session fee and we process your Medicare Claim Online to receive your rebate into your bank account within 3 business days. Please read the Medicare information below. 

Rebate for Eligible Patients with Mental Health Care Plan

If you want to claim a Medicare Rebate, you must have a Referral Letter PLUS a current Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) document from your GP, Psychiatrist or Pediatrician prior to your first appointment. A referral letter alone without an approved Mental Health Care Plan is not eligible for Medicare rebates. Please advise your GP when you are making the appointment that you are requesting a referral letter and Mental Health Care Plan to a Psychologist as your GP will need time to complete the required paperwork with you to bring to your first appointment with our psychologist.

You may be eligible to receive either 20 individual or group therapy sessions in a 12 month calendar year. Your referring doctor will assess your progress after the first 6 sessions and provide you with a Mental Health Plan Review document for additional 4 sessions (Sessions 7 to 10) for the remaining calendar year. If you require further treatment after your first 10 sessions, you will need to return to your referring doctor for another Mental Health Plan Review to get approval for additional 10 sessions (Sessions 11 to 20) within the same calendar year.

Private Health Fund Rebate

Private health funds offer rebates for clinical psychological services. You may be eligible for rebates if you have cover for ancillary benefits. Since the amount you can claim back varies for each fund, and depending on the level of cover, it is recommended that you contact your health fund company for full information. After you pay the full fee amount at the end of each session, we will issue you with a receipt with item numbers to enable you to claim a rebate on your sessions from your private health fund.
