We pride ourselves on providing you with high quality, collaborative and personalised care The Australian
Psychological Society Recommended Schedule of Fees has
set the standard 45-60 minute consultation fee for 2020-2021 at $267. However, inline with our commitment to providing accessible care we
made the decision to set our fees below the recommended rate.
Please find below an outline of your investment for the range of services we provide.
Individual Psychological Therapy
For self-funded clients our fees for a standard (50 minute) appointment are $220 for a psychologist and $250 for a clinical psychologist. If you are eligible for a Medicare rebate (Mental Health Treatment Plan; Eating Disorder Plan or Bushfire Recovery) the out of pocket expense after your rebate will be approx $125. If you have met the Medicare Threshold than you may receive a higher rebate.
Your first session will be a little longer (60 minutes) as we believe it is important that we have enough time together in this session to get a thorough understanding of your situation and best understand how we can support you to meet your needs. The first session is an additional $25.
*Please note after hours appointments (4pm onwards on weekdays and all day Saturdays) incur an additional $20 after hours fee. Please also note a payment processing fee of approximately 1.5% is applied to all payments
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy assessment appointments (60 minutes) are $265 with a psychologist and $290 with a clinical psychologist. Couples therapy treatment sessions (80 minutes) are $320 with a psychologist and $360 with a clinical psychologist. Unfortunately in Australia Medicare does not provide a rebate for couples therapy.
