Ways to pay

Most clients pay less than they expect.

Psychology is funded through several pathways in Australia. Many clients claim a Medicare rebate; others are covered through NDIS, private health, or a workplace claim. Here's how each one works. If you have unpaid NSW fines, eligible clients can also address them through sessions under a Work and Development Order.

Medicare

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, Medicare rebates a large part of each session.

Up to 10 rebated sessions a year
$101.55–$149.05 back per session
GP referral & care plan required

See the rebate

NDIS

We support self-managed and plan-managed participants under Improved Daily Living and capacity-building supports.

No Medicare referral needed
Invoiced to your plan manager
Reports for plan reviews available

NDIS pathways

Private health

If your policy includes psychology under extras, you can claim a set amount per session instead of Medicare.

Claim on the spot with HICAPS
No GP referral required
Can't be combined with Medicare

Other funding

Other ways sessions are funded.

Some of our clinicians also see people through these schemes. Each scheme sets its own rules, so ask us before you book.

DVA (veterans): anyone who has served at least one day of continuous full-time service in the Australian Defence Force can get free mental health care through DVA, without making a claim. Open Arms also offers free counselling.
Comcare: for Australian Government employees with an accepted claim. Sessions are approved by the claim manager.
Employee Assistance Program: if your employer has an EAP with us, a set number of sessions are paid by your employer. See EAP.
WentWest funded sessions: WentWest, the Primary Health Network for Western Sydney, funds some free sessions for eligible people. Your GP can tell you whether you are eligible and refer you.
Victims Services NSW: approved counselling for people affected by violent crime. See Victims Services.

Common questions

Fees & rebates, answered.

Do I need a referral to claim a rebate?

You can book privately anytime with no referral. To claim the Medicare rebate you'll need a GP referral plus a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Many clients start privately and add a care plan later.

How much will I actually pay?

For a 50-minute session with a Consultant Psychologist at $270 and a Medicare rebate of $101.55, your out-of-pocket cost is $168.45. With a Clinical Psychologist the rebate is higher ($149.05), so on a $295 session the gap is $145.95. NDIS, Workers Comp and CTP clients usually pay nothing.

Can I book a longer session?

Yes. 90 and 120 minute sessions are available on request, for example for a first appointment, complex needs, or EMDR and trauma work. They cost 1.5 and 2 times the 50-minute fee (with a Clinical Psychologist, $442.50 and $590), and the Medicare rebate stays the same. Just ask when you book.

Do you offer concession rates or bulk billing?

Yes, concession rates are available for pension and Health Care Card holders and students: $250 with a Clinical or Principal Psychologist and $230 with a Consultant Psychologist, for 50 minutes, before the Medicare rebate. We'll ask to see your card or student ID. We don't bulk bill, except for Department of Veterans' Affairs clients with a White or Gold Card.

How much is couples or family therapy?

Couples therapy is $345 and family therapy (3 or more people) is $365 for 50 minutes. Medicare doesn't cover couples or family sessions. Longer sessions and the PREPARE/ENRICH program are in the full schedule.

How many rebated sessions can I get?

Medicare covers up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Your GP reviews your progress after the first six and can refer you for the remaining four.

How do I claim the Medicare rebate?

See your GP for a referral and a Mental Health Treatment Plan, then book with us. You pay the full fee on the day and we lodge the claim for you, and Medicare pays the rebate into your bank account.

Can I claim on both private health and Medicare?

Not for the same session. You choose one or the other each visit. Medicare usually gives the larger rebate, but if you've used your 10 sessions, private-health extras can cover further appointments.

Do you run group programs?

From time to time, for example an anxiety or CBT skills group. Groups need at least 4 people and a first assessment, and a Medicare rebate may apply with a GP referral and a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Group fees are in the full schedule.

Is GST or anything else added?

Our fees are GST-free, as health services. Medico-legal reports are the exception: they are quoted in writing, plus GST. After-hours and Saturday sessions are available on request, with a 10% surcharge.

What's your cancellation policy?

Life happens. Give us at least 48 hours' notice and there's no charge. With 24 hours to under 48 hours' notice you're charged 50% of the session fee; with less than 24 hours' notice, or a missed appointment, the full fee applies. Cancellation fees can't be claimed through Medicare or a health fund. Deposits are applied to the charge rather than lost on top of it. Full terms, including deposits and the appointments that need seven days' notice, are on our cancellation policy page.
