Fees
Referral
You can claim a Medicare rebate for up to 10 consultations per calendar year. You must have a Referral from your GP and a Mental Health Care Plan and you must be assessed by your Doctor as suffering from a mental disorder. You will need to bring the Referral, and a copy of the Mental Health Care Plan, with you to your first psychological consultation.
A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) can be obtained from your GP to help cover the cost of therapy. A MHCP enables you to access six sessions of therapeutic intervention. Following the six sessions, a review will be undertaken and anther four sessions may be available if a need has been identified.
Fees
The fee structure for therapy is –
Clinical Psychologist - $250.00 per 50 minute session
Medicare Rebate - $131.65
For those wishing to access therapy without a MHCP in place, please contact us for further details.
