Fees & Rebates
The fee for a 50 minute session is $260. This is 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. This will leave you with a gap payment of $122.95.
A MHCP allows you to access a rebate for 10 session per calendar year. You will need to return to your GP after 6 sessions for a review.
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.
