Our fees
Individual sessions with Emily (Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Neuropsychologist) are charged at $270 per session. Individual sessions with Caroline (General Psychologist) are charged at $225 per session.
Medicare's Better Access Initiative allows rebates for both individual and group sessions and these differ for sessions with a Clinical Psychologist vs. a General Psychologist.
For Medicare rebates, a referral is need from a GP or psychiatrist. They will assess your eligibility for a Mental Health Care Plan, and provide you with a referral to bring to your first appointment or group session.
The Medicare rebate for a 50 min appointment with a Clinical Psychologist (Emily) is $141.85. If you have not reached the safety net, the out of pocket per session is $128.15. Once you reach the safety net, the rebate is 80% of the gap which means your out of pocket cost is approx $25 a session. You can access rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
The Medicare rebate for a 50 min appointment with a General Psychologist (Caroline) is $96.65. If you have not reached the safety net, the out of pocket per session is $128.35. Once you have reached the safety net, the out of pocket is approx $25. You can access rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
Groups are $1000 for 10-week classes of 90 minutes per class. Rebates for groups are also possible and can be in addition to rebates for individual sessions. The rebate for groups with Emily is $49.05 per session. For a 10-week group therapy class the total out of pocket, if you have not reached the safety net, is $509.50. Once you reach the safety net, the out of pocket is approx $100 meaning each session is only $10.
If you have private health cover for psychological treatment then you may also be entitled to claim a rebate. The claimable amount and number of sessions per calendar year depend on your health cover. We suggest you consult your private health insurer for more information.
You can only claim a rebate through either Medicare OR your private health insurer for any one session or group class.
Neuropsychological assessments are quoted according to requirements.
We are always willing to discuss fees if this is a barrier for you.
