An individual therapy session lasts 50 minutes. The cost for the initial consultation is $300, and each subsequent session is $260. These fees are more affordable than the Australian Psychological Society's recommended rate for 2024-25, which is $311. If you're concerned about psychology session costs or affordability, we can discuss payment options, including reduced fees for those in financial hardship.

Yes, Medicare rebates for psychology are available. You can receive a rebate of $145.25 per session for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. To qualify, you must have a referral letter and a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP or psychiatrist. After your first six sessions, your GP will review your progress and may extend your MHCP for additional sessions. If you don’t have an MHCP, you can still access therapy, but Medicare rebates will not apply.

Yes, if your private health insurance policy includes extras for psychological services, you may be eligible for a rebate. Coverage varies depending on your insurer and plan, we recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm the details of your psychological therapy cover. Remember to ask specifically about coverage for clinical psychologists in Melbourne.

Yes, psychological therapy sessions can be funded through both WorkCover and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Please contact us to discuss your treatment needs and determine how these funding options may apply to your situation.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. A cancellation fee may apply for late cancellations or no-shows, and this fee is not covered by Medicare or private health insurance. The cancellation fee must be paid before you can reschedule a future session.
