Fees & Rebates
THERAPY
The Australian Psychological Society recommends an hourly rate of $260 per 46-60 minute session. As we strive to make our services more accessible, we charge a lesser amount of $199 (from 1st April 2024) per 50 minute session. You do not need a referral from a GP to see a psychologist, however, clients who have a Mental Health Care Plan are eligible for a Medicare rebate of $92.90 for up to 10 sessions per calendar year (20 post Covid). Please contact us for further information or speak with your general practitioner about this.
ASSESSMENTS
This practice specializes in assessments. We offer assessments that provide information on cognitive ability, learning barriers, such as Dyslexia or Dyscalculia (Disorder of Mathematics), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and general/daily functioning ability. The cost for a cognitive assessment depends on what type of assessments tools are being used. This will vary depending on the presenting problem. Please contact us direct for a quote.
Private Health Rebates
If you have private health insurance you may be eligible to claim rebates for psychological sessions. The level of cover and any applicable waiting periods vary between providers and depends on your extras cover policy.
To find out if you are eligible and/or how much funding you are entitled to claim for psychological sessions, please contact your private health insurance. Your private health insurance may ask for the item code that will show on your invoice. Please see below the psychological session item codes your psychologist would use:
