Referrals and Fees

• The fee for a standard 50-minute psychotherapy appointment is $240. Ideally therapy is accessible for those who need it, hence the current fee is lower than the recommended national guides.

• If you are referred by a GP and they provide a Mental Health Care Plan, you can claim a Medicare rebate of $141.85 per session with a Clinical Psychologist, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. This means the out-of-pocket cost is $98.15 for subsidised sessions.

• You may self-refer if you would like to to engage privately (without funding) or if you would like to claim using private health insurance. Please contact your provider to find out what you may be able to claim when seeing a Clinical Psychologist.

• Referrals funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (requires a GP referral) and Queensland Police Service are also accepted.

• This service does not accept referrals for Work Cover or NDIS funding at this stage. For more information on the scope of this practice, please see the services page.

• Existing clients may enquire about concessions if wanting to access long-term psychotherapy beyond funding limits, or if experiencing genuine financial difficulties.

• Please note a cancellation fee applies for sessions that are missed or cancelled without agreed notice. This policy will be discussed at the start of treatment and outlined on the consent form.
