Pricing & rebate FAQs

Do I need a GP referral to see a psychologist?

You’re welcome to book without a referral and standard fees will apply. To claim Medicare rebates, you’ll need a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral made out to our practice or your chosen clinician.

Is the fee the same for online sessions?

Yes—our in-person and telehealth sessions are the same price for both Registered and Clinical Psychologists.

Can I use private health insurance?

Many policies cover psychology. You can’t claim both Medicare and private health insurance for the same session. Most clients choose whichever rebate is higher for them.

Cancellation policy

Please provide 24–48 hours’ notice to avoid a late cancellation fee. Short-notice cancellations limit appointment access for other clients.

Reports, forms or letters

Reports, forms or letters completed outside a standard session, or required within a specific timeframe, may incur an additional fee. Please contact us to discuss any additional reports, letters, forms or special requests.
