What are your fees?

My hourly therapy rate is $250 an hour. I do not offer bulk billing or WorkCover services.

Under the Better Access scheme, those experiencing mental health difficulties are currently eligible for up to 10 Medicare rebates of $141.85 per calendar year under a Mental Health Care Plan. The out of pocket expense for standard session fee after a rebate is $108.15.

As supervision is not a psychological service it is not exempt from GST. Currently I charge $230 for supervision plus GST (i.e., $253). I charge tape rating services at two hours of my standard hourly rate plus GST ($550).

Fees are subject to change and will typically be adjusted in line with the Medicare Benefits Schedule at the end of each financial year.

Please note: The Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended 46 to 60-minute consultation fee is $300.00.

How do I access a Medicare rebate?

Read more about utilising the Better Access for Mental Health scheme. Please note you need a referral letter and Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP to be eligible.

If you want to explore this possibility, please make an appointment with your doctor prior to our first appointment. They will let you know how many sessions the referral is for and when you need to return to them for them to review your progress and potentially access more rebated sessions.
Please provide me a copy of the GP referral letter and Mental Health Care Plan via email prior to your initial consultation.

Do I need a referral to see you?

No, you are able to book appointments without a referral. Appointments booked without a referral will be ineligible for Medicare rebates.

Am I eligible for rebates under my private health cover?

Individual therapy sessions are covered under some private health plans, typically without requiring a referral from a doctor. To access this you will need to check your coverage with your insurer. Please keep in mind that you can't claim both private and Medicare rebates for the same appointment

​Do you have a late cancellation policy?

Non-attendance at an appointment, rescheduling or cancellation with less than 24 hours notice will be charged at the full consultation fee. I would be grateful for at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel an appointment so that I can offer it to other clients. Cancellation fees are not eligible for Medicare rebates.

Do you maintain a waitlist?

I believe that immediate help at the moment of need has a lot of therapeutic power and as such I do not maintain an active waitlist for therapy clients. If there is a suitable fit with more immediate availability I will always encourage you to take this opportunity. Exceptions to waitlisting include clinical supervision and resuming services for former and returning clients only.
