Fees & Rebates
Fees
The current fee is $280 for a standard 50 minute session. This is below the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended fee of $311.
Payment is to be made at the time of consultation.
Fees apply for additional reports or consultations outside of standard practice.
Medicare Rebates
You do not require a referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) to see me. However, a referral from your GP or Psychiatrist using a Mental Health Treatment Plan will enable you to access a Medicare rebate of $141.85 for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. This means that your out of pocket expense would be $138.15 per session.

Private Health Rebates
If you would like to use private health insurance rebates, please contact your provider to determine the rebate you are entitled to. You cannot access both Medicare and private health rebates for the same session. However, you can use a combination of Medicare and private health rebates to subsidise your session costs over the course of your treatment if required.
Cancellations
Please note that cancellation fees apply for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice and missed appointments.
Medicare rebates cannot be claimed for late cancellations or missed appointments.
