My Fees

​

The current recommended fee for an APS Psychologist 50 - 60 minute consultation is $300.00. This is a recommendation only. 

​

My fees are $198.00 for each 50 minute session for fee paying clients.

 

You may wish to see your GP to determine if you are eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan. This would give you a Medicare rebate (from July1, 2024) of $96.65. The Medicare rebate will not cover the full cost of the session and there will be an out of pocket expense for you. 

​

Clients who are eligible for financially supported sessions through any organisation will need to provide this information at the time of their booking, otherwise, the full fee will be payable.

Health fund rebates may be available, but please discuss this directly with your health fund.
