Session Length
Each session is approximately 50 minutes in duration.
Session Cost
The rate for a psychologist by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) is $300 for a (46-60 minute consolation), however, we keep our fees well below that to ensure mental health services are broadly available.
As such, we charge $220 per session for private paying clients. The Medicare rebate is $96.65, which means the gap payment for you is $123.35.
We acknowledge that unexpected life events may interfere with your ability to attend your appointment. Unfortunately last minute cancellations or non-attendance may result in another client missing an opportunity for timely treatment. We have developed a cancellation policy with this in mind.
Cancellations made more than 48 hours in advance will not incur any fee.
The APS recommended cancellation fees are:
0 – 24 hours notice: Full fee
24 – 48 hours notice: 50% of fee
Unfortunately cancellation fees are not eligible for Medicare rebate.
Medicare Rebates
If your GP has given you a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) you are eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions in each calendar year.
