Fee and Referrals

• The fee for a standard 50-minute appointment is currently $210. Ideally therapy is accessible for those who need it, hence the current fee is significantly lower than the national recommendation of $300.

• Those seeking a Medicare-subsidy for sessions may seek a referral and Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from a GP or Psychiatrist. Clients seen by a registered Clinical Psychologist under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) are entitled to a Medicare rebate of $141.85 per session for up to 10 sessions per calendar year, meaning the client’s gap payment is $68.15 per session.

• Clients may self-refer if preferring to pay fees privately, or wanting to claim using their private health insurance.

• Referrals funded by the Queensland Police Service and Department of Veterans’ Affairs are also accepted.

• Existing clients who are engaging in long-term psychotherapy beyond Medicare-subsidized sessions or experiencing genuine financial difficulties may enquire about further concession options.

• Please note a cancellation fee applies for sessions that are missed or cancelled without agreed notice. This policy will be discussed at the start of treatment.
