Getting started.
No, not to book a private session. You only need a GP referral and a mental health treatment plan if you would like to claim a Medicare rebate.
We often have new client appointments available this week, and you can see current times when you book online.
Book online in a few minutes, or call us and we will help you find a time and the right psychologist.
Fees and funding.
A standard session is $245. Couples sessions are private only, with the fee available on enquiry. Assessment fees are on each assessment page.
With a GP referral and a mental health treatment plan, Medicare rebates $101.55 per eligible session with a registered psychologist, which leaves about $143.45 out of pocket on a $245 session, for up to ten individual sessions a calendar year.
No, we do not bulk bill. Medicare rebates part of the fee and you pay the gap.
You can claim either a Medicare rebate or a private health rebate for a session, not both. If you would like to use private health cover, check your psychology extras with your insurer.
ADHD and cognitive assessments are generally not covered by a Medicare rebate. We set out the full cost before you begin.
How online therapy works.
You meet your psychologist by secure, encrypted video, with no app to download. You receive a link for your session, and all you need is a quiet, private space and an internet connection.
For most people and most concerns, yes. The approaches we use translate well to video, with the added benefit of attending from your own space.
Yes. Sessions are held over a secure, encrypted connection, and your information is handled under Australian privacy law. We do not record sessions.
About our psychologists.
Both complete accredited training and are registered with the Psychology Board of Australia. A clinical psychologist holds an additional area of practice endorsement, which attracts a higher Medicare rebate. Our psychologists are registered psychologists, and the rebate for a session is $101.55.
Yes. Continuity matters, so you work with the same psychologist throughout.
