Referrals & Rebates
Referrals
You do not require a referral to attend an appointment with us. Many people decide to see a psychologist without consulting a GP or other health professional. However, if you wish to claim a rebate through Medicare, you will require a referral from your GP or Psychiatrist (please see the section on rebates for further details).
Fees
The Australian Psychological Society’s (APS) recommended fee for a standard 50-minute session is $315. Our standard session fees are significantly less than this.
Our standard fee is $270. If you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can receive a Medicare rebate of $149.05, reducing the out-of-pocket cost to $120.95.
Rebates
If you have a valid Mental Health Care Plan, you may be eligible for a rebate from Medicare for up to $145.25 per session, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
Private Health
You may be able to claim some of the fees back through your Private Health Fund.
At the conclusion of each session, you may request an invoice that provides the details required for you to organise rebates with your insurance provider.
Please note: you are not able to claim from Medicare and your private health fund for the same consultation.
