Fees

---

We provide rebated sessions through Medicare and Private Health Insurance, or fully funded sessions under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Work Cover, for military personnel, veterans and their families (Open Arms).

As our focus is on wellness we want to make sure you are receiving the very best treatment for your needs. Fees therefore are charged to ensure we have the capacity to work with you in a tailored way, with quality in mind. Fees cover not only the time taken in session, but the required administration that accompanies sessions (this is one reason that different schemes are different prices), and the ongoing research, learning, professional development and time spent outside of session to ensure you are gaining tailored help with the best possible outcomes.

In general, for a Medicare Rebated sessions the following applies:

Per 50 minute session a full fee of $180 is charged for a session with our general psychologists, with a full rebate of $89.65 lodged immediately* (with a valid Mental Health Care Plan). Per 50 minute session with our Clinical Psychologists a full fee of $221-$230 is charged for a session, with a full rebate of $131.65 lodged immediately* (with a valid Mental Health Care Plan).

A cancellation fee of 50-100% of the full fee may be charged to clients who have not given notice of their intention not to attend 48hrs before their appointment.

Please see below for more information, as well as information on rebates and different funding.

Please be aware that our fees fall below those recommended by the APS guide for a schedule of fees, as we want to be as accessible as possible.

We know however that some circumstances place extreme financial stress on an individual and therefore clients with exceptional circumstances such as referrals from domestic violence services, refuges and homelessness services, fees can be assessed on a a case by case basis with some clients being eligible for bulk billing.

If you feel as though you have exceptional circumstances regarding your finances, please talk to your psychologist.
