Fees

Private Therapy

You do not need a referral to access psychological therapy. Choosing to attend privately allows therapy to be guided by your needs, goals and circumstances rather than the boundaries of a funding model. You don’t need to be in crisis, or meet a diagnostic threshold for a mental health condition, to benefit from thoughtful, supported exploration and skill building. 

​

• Standard Private Consultation (50 minutes) – $280

• Depth-Oriented Consultation (90 minutes) – $495

The Australian Psychological Society currently recommends a fee of $318 for a standard 46–60 minute psychology consultation. My fee has been intentionally set below this recommended rate to help make high-quality psychological care more accessible. Payment is required at the time of your appointment.

​

Medicare Rebates

Medicare is one way of accessing psychological care, but it doesn't define who can benefit from therapy or how therapy should unfold. Some people attend more frequently for a period of time, while others continue beyond the available rebates.

​

If however, you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and referral from your GP (or psychiatrist or paediatrician), you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $101.55 per session.

​

• Standard MHTP Consultation (50 minutes) – $178.45

​

Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year, with an initial referral for six sessions followed by a GP review if additional sessions are clinically appropriate. Unused sessions do not carry over into the following calendar year.

​

Your rebate can be processed immediately following your appointment and is typically deposited directly into your nominated bank account by Medicare generally in 1-2 business days.
