Fees & Rebates

Maggie offers in-person sessions and online sessions (Telehealth). The fee for a 50 minute online session is $260. The fee for a in-person session Monday to Friday is $270 and the fee for an in-person session on a Saturday is $280. All of the session fees are lower than the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended fee of $300 for a 50 minute session.

You can attend therapy privately or obtain a referral for a rebate under Medicare Better Access initiative. Your GP can provide you with this referral under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). This will allow you to access a rebate of $137.05 for your session. The MHCP usually allows you access to a rebate for 10 sessions in a calendar year. You will be asked to return to your GP for review after session 6.

A cancellation with less than 48 hours notice will incur a $130 fee. A cancellation with less than 24 hours notice will incur the total fee of your session. Cancellation fees are not intended to be punitive, and we have compassion for individual circumstances.  Unfortunately though, demand for mental health services is very high and it can be difficult to fill a cancelled appointment without sufficient notice as well as cover costs incurred from holding an appointment. Other clients in need also miss out when appointments are held and not attended.
