Medicare rebates are available under certain circumstances. Please see attached information on rebates. Rebates may also be available if you are a member of a private health fund. Please contact your private health provider for more information.

Fees are described as consultations and are based on the time taken to conduct the services provided. A consultation includes but is not restricted to:

• Face to face, videoconferencing, and telephone consultations

• Speaking with a third party (e.g. teacher or other
  health professional)

• Reviewing past reports or communication outside of session

• Referrals to other professionals

• Care Team Meetings and Case Consultations with other professionals

• Travel time to meetings

• Report writing and other correspondence

Cost should not be your most important consideration
While it is natural to consider the cost of treatment when you are selecting a psychologist, you should not select a psychologist based solely on their hourly rate. Psychologists generally do considerable work before and after appointments. The fees listed are lower than those recommended for psychological services by the Australian Psychological Society (APS). If you are wanting to claim the medicare benefits for eligible consultations, please obtain a referral letter and MHCP from your GP prior to attending the first session.
