A standard 50-minute face-to-face or telehealth consultation costs $285 per session with Clinical Psychologists and Psychologists. (The Australian Psychological Association recommends a rate of $318 per 50 min appointment. )

Many clients are eligible for Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Payment can be made by cash, EFTPOS, or credit card at the end of face-to-face sessions. Telehealth sessions are charged to your nominated credit card on the day.

You can receive rebates for psychological services from several sources, including:

Medicare

Under the ‘Better access to mental health‘ scheme, you can get a rebate for up to 10 therapy sessions each calendar year. To be eligible, visit your GP or Psychiatrist and get a referral for psychological services as part of your treatment plan. If you have reached your Medicare family safety net threshold for the year, the rebate will cover nearly the entire cost of your session.

 As of July 1st 2026, Medicare rebates are:

·       Clinical Psychologist: $149.05 per session

NDIS

If your NDIS plan covers Psychology, you may be able to claim the full cost of our sessions. However, you need to be self-managed and pay the invoice at the time of your session.

Private Health Funds

Many private health funds offer rebates for psychological services depending on your coverage. Please contact your health fund for more information.

Workcover/ CTP

Our clinicians are registered to see clients under Workcover and insurance schemes.

You will be advised to include details of your insurance provider, case manager and injury before an initial appointment is booked. There is no out of pocket cost for these appointments.

To continue claiming Medicare rebates for psychology sessions, your GP (or prescribed medical practitioner) may need to complete a review of your Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP).

Under Medicare rules:

Reviews cannot occur within 4 weeks of your original MHTP

Reviews cannot occur more than once every 3 months, unless exceptional circumstances apply

Most people do not require more than two reviews per calendar year

Your GP will review your progress and confirm that ongoing treatment is appropriate before issuing an updated referral if required.

Clinical psychology focuses on assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health disorders using evidence-based treatments. Clinical Psychologists rely on research to guide therapy. While other forms of therapy, such as counselling or coaching, address general life issues or personal growth, clinical psychology specifically targets psychological conditions and emotional distress. Clinical Psychologists hold advanced degrees in psychology and are trained to manage complex mental health issues, which may require specialised care.

Some people notice changes after the first session, but most experience significant shifts after about four weeks. This feeling of change, whether positive or negative, is a sign that you’re seeing things in a new way. As therapy progresses, your thoughts and feelings may shift, offering better insight into your challenges. Remember, everyone’s journey is different, and being patient with yourself is important.
