If you are referred under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP), you are entitled to claim Medicare Rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. The following explains the stages of a MHCP:

Stage 1: 6 sessions (The client attends 6 psychology sessions. This involves the initial and subsequent sessions which guide treatment approach/ goals/plan and how often the remaining sessions will be organised)

After session 6, the psychologist is required to send a progress report to your GP, at which time your GP will review the report and you may be referred for a further 4 sessions.

Stage 2 (Review): 4 sessions (client will continue to see the psychologist for a further 4 sessions).

Once the client completes their total 10 sessions, the psychologist sends a report to the GP, if needed. The client then will meet with their GP who may approve and refer for a further 10 sessions.

As of 1 July 2026, the consultation fee is $285 per 50+ minute session with a Clinical Psychologist and $240–$270 per session with a General Psychologist.
Payment is required on the day of your appointment and can be made via cash, EFTPOS, or credit card.
Medicare rebates of $149.05 for Clinical Psychology sessions and $101.55 for General Psychology sessions may be claimed, with the remaining balance payable by clients as a gap fee.
Please refer to the fee schedule on our website for further details.

Health fund rebates for registered psychological services are provided by most health funds under their ancillary/extra options. These rebates vary depending on your health fund, and your level of cover. Please discuss this with your health fund before booking for further details.

Normally there is no need for a referral to claim for private health psychology services.

Our psychologists are registered with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). Please check with DVA before booking an appointment with one of our psychologists.  You will need a referral from an approved practitioner. Please refer to DVA website for further information:  https://www.dva.gov.au/

Cognitive assessments and associated reports typically require approximately 6–10 hours of work, billed at $230 per hour. This includes the administration of assessment measures, the gathering of collateral information, and report writing.
Please note that the total cost may vary depending on the specific assessments required and the complexity of the tasks involved. The psychologist will discuss and confirm the estimated cost with you prior to commencement.
PLEASE NOTE MEDICARE REBATE DOES NOT COVER PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS, HOWEVER CLIENTS MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE REBATE FOR INITIAL AND FEEDBACK SESSION AFTER ASSESSMENT IS COMPLETED.
