Medicare:

If you have a current Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for therapy sessions.

This plan entitles you to rebates for up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year.

Current rebate amounts (as of 1 July 2025) are $98.95 per session. The current Medicare rebate is $98.95. Out of pocket cost is $121.05

How it works:

• First, visit your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan referral to see a psychologist

• Bring your referral to your first session (or email it before your appointment)

• After each eligible session, you’ll receive the Medicare rebate

Please note:

• An out-of-pocket cost (gap fee) usually applies

• Medicare rebates do not apply to psychological assessments (e.g., ADHD or Autism assessments)

If you’re unsure about the process or need help getting a referral, I’m happy to guide you.

Private Health:

If you have extras cover that includes psychological services, you may be eligible for a partial rebate on therapy sessions with me.

Rebate amounts and limits vary depending on your individual health fund and level of cover.

• You won’t be able to claim from both Medicare and private health for the same session.

• If you’re not sure about your cover, it’s best to contact your health fund directly and ask about rebates for psychology services with a registered psychologist.

Assessments:

At this time, Medicare rebates do not apply to psychological assessments, including ADHD or Autism evaluations for adults. This means that the full cost of assessment sessions and reports is privately billed

Workers Compensation/CTP: These sessions are covered with a valid referral.

Private Clients: You do not need a GP referral to attend. The GP referral allows you to claim a rebate under a Mental Health Care Plan if you are eligible.

Workers Compensation: Referrals made under SIRA (Workers Compensation) attract a fee in accordance with their guidelines and fee schedule. If you are a Work Cover client; we will invoice them directly.

Private Health Fund: Please check with your policy if you are eligible for rebates.

We understand that unexpected things can come up. However, your appointment time is reserved just for you, and we kindly ask for notice so we can offer the session to someone else who may be waiting. 

We require at least 24 business hours notice for cancellations or changes to your appointment. A 50% late cancellation fee of applies to appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. Missed appointments without notice are charged at the full fee. If three appointments in a row are cancelled or rescheduled, services will be terminated. You are welcome to recontact when you are able to commit to a regular time. To cancel a Monday appointment at 9:00am, please give us notice by 9:00am Friday to avoid cancellation fees. This fee will need to be paid prior to booking a future appointment. You have the option of changing your appointment to a Telehealth appointment if you are unable to attend in person.
