Appointments & Fees

Appointments start on the hour and are 50 minutes. They are most often fortnightly, yet it can be helpful to begin with weekly if more frequent sessions are needed in the short-term.

My fee is $280 and the Medicare rebate is $141.85; Medicare provides up to 10 rebated sessions per calender year (6+4).

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended fee for psychologists in 2023-2024 is $311.

Rebates

Medicare rebates reduce the cost of fees. To obtain a rebate visit your doctor to obtain a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) which enables an initial 6 (and after your doctors review a further 4 sessions), to a total of 10 sessions per calendar year (to December 31).

If you have Private Health insurance please inquire with your insurer regarding rebates for fees. NB you cannot use both the Medicare rebate and Private Health insurance rebate at the same time.

Please bring your referral letter, your Mental Health Care Plan and your Medicare card to your first appointment.
