———  FEES

Clear up front,
discussed openly.

No surprises. Fees, Medicare rebates, and other funding options are explained before you book — so you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed.

———  SESSION FEES

What sessions cost.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

STANDARD SESSIONS

50 minutes 10 am to 5 pm.

COUPLES THERAPY

INITIAL SESSION

90 minutes

A longer first session gives us time to properly understand your relationship's history and what's bringing you in — without rushing. 

+$100

Fees are payable on the day of your appointment. Card and bank transfer accepted.

———  MEDICARE

What Medicare gives back.

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, Medicare currently rebates $101.55 per individual session — for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year, in person or via telehealth.

 

I process rebates on the day, so the refund typically reaches your account within a day or two.

A note for couples

Medicare does not provide rebates for couples or relationship therapy. Couples sessions are private-fee only — I'd rather you know that here than find out at booking.

How to get a plan: book a longer appointment with your GP and ask about a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Not sure how to raise it? Mention it in your enquiry — I can walk you through it.

———  THE APPROACH TO FEES

How fees 
are set.

In line with private practice

My standard fee is consistent with private practice rates for registered psychologists, and sits below the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended fee ($330). 

 

Discussed before you book

The current fee, any applicable Medicare rebate, and other funding options are confirmed during your initial enquiry — so there are no surprises before our first session.

​

Standard session length

Sessions are typically 45–50 minutes. Fees are payable on the day of your appointment.

 
Outside-hours appointments

The current fee, any applicable Medicare rebate, and other funding options are confirmed during your initial enquiry — so there are no surprises before our first session.

——— REBATES & FUNDING

Other options for 
funding.

MEDICARE

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year.

SIRA / WORKCOVER

Approved provider for SIRA-funded psychological services. Please mention this at the time of enquiry so we can confirm arrangements.

NDIS

Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants are welcome. NDIA-managed plans are not currently supported.

PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE

Some private health funds offer partial rebates for psychology. Check directly with your insurer — please ask if you'd like guidance.

——— A NOTE ON ACCESS

If cost is a 
concern.

A limited number of reduced-fee appointments are held for people experiencing genuine financial difficulty. If cost is the thing standing between you and getting started, say so in your enquiry — it won't be an awkward conversation, and we can usually find a way to make it work.

———  STILL DECIDING?

Talk it through first, 
free.

Before committing to anything, I offer a free 15-minute phone call — a chance to talk about what's bringing you in, ask about fees or my approach, and get a sense of whether we'd be a good fit.
