Fees & Rebates
The cost of a 55-minute session is $235 payable in full at the time of the consultation (note: this fee is substantially less than the current Australian Psychological Society recommended fee of $311 per session).
Telehealth sessions are also available (via zoom).
A referral is not necessary unless you want to access the Medicare Better Access Scheme, where, if you have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your treating doctor, you will receive a Medicare rebate of $141.85 (the gap fee therefore is $93.15). As I do not process your fee through to Medicare at the time of the consultation, you will need to personally claim the rebate via the Medicare app (through My Gov) after the session. Please note that I do not bulk bill.
A MHCP currently allows for 10 sessions within a calendar year.
Some private health funds offer rebates with a clinical psychologist (no GP referral required).
Note: Non-attendance fees apply for cancellations without adequate notice.
Appointments
Appointments are available on weekdays starting at 0845, with a last appointment at 1715. Saturday morning appointments are also available (times negotiable).
The best way to make an appointment is by calling me directly (or you may want to make an inquiry by email via this website).
