Medicare Rebates

To be eligible for Medicare rebates, individuals must obtain a Mental Health Care Plan and referral from a GP or psychiatrist. Book an appointment with your GP to discuss your mental health needs and assess your eligibility.

Medicare rebates are currently $96.65 per session with a General Psychologist and $141.85 per session with a Clinical Psychologist, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.

Private Health Insurance

If you have private health insurance, you may be eligible for rebates under Extras cover.

As every fund is different and can change over time, it is best to check with your fund about your specific entitlements.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations, rescheduling, or non-attendance with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a $50 late cancellation fee, unless there are exceptional circumstances. This fee is not claimable through Medicare, insurers, or funding bodies, and will be charged directly to your account.

Providing adequate notice helps us offer appointments to other clients and ensures a reliable and accessible service for all.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our session fees are below the Australian Psychological Society’s recommended rate of $311 for a standard 50-minute session. Full payment is required on the day, unless prior arrangements are in place with an approved third-party funder such as Workers’ Compensation or motor vehicle insurers.

    If your claim has not yet been approved, you will be responsible for payment until funding is confirmed. In some cases, a GP Mental Health Care Plan may be used to access Medicare rebates while awaiting insurer approval.

    Please contact us to discuss what fees may apply to your specific situation.

  • Private health fund rebates for psychology sessions vary depending on your level of cover. It's best to check directly with your private health health insurer to confirm whether your policy includes psychological treatment and what rebate amount may apply.

    Payment for appointments is due in full on the day of your session. If eligible, you can lodge a claim directly with your private health fund after payment.

    Please note that you cannot claim a rebate from both Medicare and a private health fund (or any other third-party funding, such as WorkCover) for the same session. Many clients choose to use their Medicare-rebated sessions first, as the rebate is often higher, and then claim through private health insurance once Medicare sessions are exhausted.

  • The workers’ compensation system and the motor vehicle claims systems have provisions to pay for medical expenses which include psychological treatment. This may be because the injury itself has been difficult to cope with, or because the reason for the claim is stress-related. Funding approval for such treatment is at the discretion of the insurer.

  • Contact our office directly and we will seek approval from the insurer on your behalf. A referral from your treating General Practitioner is often required by the insurer to show that the reason for attending is related to your claim.
    A representative of the insurer will be asked to sign a written approval form to confirm that they agree to fund your sessions.
    In situations where the insurer has not agreed to provide funding for an open claim, the client is responsible for settling fees. Sometimes, a GP Mental Health Care Plan is appropriate in these cases.

  • You may be eligible for up to 10 Medicare-rebated psychology sessions per calendar year with a Mental Health Care Plan and referral from your GP.

    We recommend speaking with your GP to discuss whether a Mental Health Care Plan is appropriate for you.

    Medicare rebates are approximately $96.65 for general psychologists and $141.85 for clinical psychologists. These rebates cannot be combined with private health or other third-party funding for the same session.

    If you’re unsure how to get started, or would like further information about Medicare rebates, feel free to contact us.

  • Yes, if your Workers’ Compensation claim is accepted, you may be eligible for funded psychology sessions.

    A referral from your treating General Practitioner is often required by the insurer to show that the reason for attending is related to your claim. To find out whether you are eligible for funded psychology services, speak to your GP, case manager or claim representative.
