FEES AND REBATES
The Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommends a fee of $300 for a 50-minute psychology consultation. However, to make our services more accessible, we have significantly reduced our fees.

Counselling Fees:
Individual counselling sessions, approximately 50 minutes in duration, are offered at just $155 with our Registered Psychologists.

Medicare Rebates:
Yes, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate! To qualify, you need a referral from your General Practitioner (GP) along with a completed Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). With these, you can receive a Medicare rebate of $96.65, making our services even more affordable

Payment at the time of the appointment is appreciated (cash or EFTPOS). Medicare and private health funds rebates are available. If you plan to seek a Medicare rebate, a GP referral is necessary before you make a psychological appointment. Medicare rebate is available for patients who have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) via the Better Access Scheme. Patients who intends to access rebates from their private health fund do not require a MHCP from your GP.
