Sessions last for approximately 50 minutes and are provided via phone or telehealth.
The number of sessions depends on your goals in therapy. This can be discussed in the initial session.
The first few sessions are based around assessment. Your psychologist will work with you to obtain a good understanding of your circumstances, your life experiences, and your goals for therapy. Following the assessment, you will have a collaborative discussion with your psychologist on how to move forward with treatment.
Our fees range from $196.65 for appointments during business hours and $246.65 for after-hours appointments.
Although you do not require a referral to see a psychologist, a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP (also referred to as a Medicare referral) may entitle you to 10 sessions within a calendar year at a rebate from Medicare of $96.65.
Please see your GP who will assess your eligibility for the Mental Health Care Plan.
The full fee and Medicare rebate is processed in session.
Private health rebates are also available depending on your level of cover.
*DVA referrals and Workcover clients have not out of pocket expenses for sessions*
