Psychological service fees increase on 1 July each year to coincide with the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended guidelines. These fees are below the APS suggested fee of $330 for a 45-to-60-minute session.

Fees for supplementary or non-standard consultations will be advised at the time of booking an appointment.

All fees are GST inclusive (where applicable).

Most health funds offer rebates for psychological services. This will depend on your health fund and level of cover. Please contact your health fund to check if you are eligible and to claim any rebates.

Non-Direct Services

Progress reports to referring general practitioners will not incur a fee.

Where a client requests additional reports or letters, a fee equivalent to our hourly consultation professional fee, pro-rated on a 15-minute basis, will be charged. Fees will be discussed prior to preparing the report.

Cancellation Policy
