Clinical Supervision sessions are $180 for a 50 minute appointment (exclusive of GST).

​

Cancellation fees

 

If you are unable to attend your appointment please give as much notice as possible so the appointment time can be offered to someone else in need.

​

Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice will incur a cancellation fee of $150.

​

If no notice of cancellation is given and a client fails to attend the appointment the full fee will be charged.

Rebates cannot be claimed for cancellation fees.

​

Please note: Clinical Psychology sessions are exempt from GST charges but other types of work e.g. supervision and some types of report writing are not exempt from GST.

​

Session Fees

 

Full payment is required at the time of consultation and the preferred method of payment is credit card.

​

Rebates

​

Medicare rebates

 

Clinical Psychology sessions are eligible for a rebate under the Medicare Better Access programme with a valid Mental Health Care Plan.

​

Medicare will reimburse $128.40 per standard consultation with a Clinical Psychologist. You will be required to pay the full amount on the day of your appointment and apply to medicare for the rebate which they will provide directly to your bank account.

​

Under Medicare policy the Clinical Psychologist must receive a copy of the referral letter and the Mental Health Care Plan in order for the rebate to be processed. If paperwork is not received the session is not eligible for a rebate.

​

Psychiatrists can also make referrals to Psychologists under the Better Access scheme. Should a psychiatrist refer you, only a referral letter is required.

​

Private Health Insurance Rebates

​

Should you wish to attend sessions and pay privately, no referral is required. Some private health insurance companies provide rebates for Clinical Psychology services, but this will be dependent on the insurer and the level of cover. Please contact your insurance company for details.

 

Please note you cannot claim rebates from Medicare and Private Health concurrently.
