How much is a psychology session?

We offer six different appointment types depending on your situation or entitlements.

  1. Medicare bulk bill:  For Medicare card holders, the Australian government supports up to ten sessions annually with a qualified psychologist. We offer $0 bulk billing for anyone who needs it.
  2. Medicare rebate: If you're a Medicare card holder, pay upfront for a session with the psychologist of your choice, and receive a Medicare rebate for up to ten sessions per year. See the table below for the breakdown of fees.
  3. Self fund: If you want to pay privately, our affordable rates are some of the best in Australia. The table below outlines the two different fees, which depend on your psychologist's experience.
  4. NDIS: For self managed or plan managed participants. If your plan covers psychology, you have $0 to pay.
  5. WorkCover or WorkSafe: If your workers compensation claim covers psychology, you have $0 to pay. 
  6. Veterans (DVA): Gold and white cards are accepted with $0 to pay.

^ Under Medicare, once you have utilised all the sessions included in your mental health treatment plan for the year (which usually totals ten sessions in a calendar year), you will move to Self fund appointments and you'll be required to pay the full fee ($136.65 or $181.85 depending on your psychologist's experience).

* Bank fee - if you're paying using an Australian bank card, the fee is $0.30 plus 1.7% of the total amount, plus GST.
