Psychology sessions

Each session is 50 minutes. A plan will be designed with your needs in mind.  Sessions may be weekly, fortnightly, or at any other arrangement, to be discussed.

Prior to your first session, you will receive a consent form that outlines important information about fees, payment, confidentiality and the privacy policy. 

The first session is an opportunity for you to share the reasons you are seeking psychological treatment, and to begin working on therapy goals and a treatment plan.  Most people find this initial meeting a helpful first step.

Confidentiality

Psychological therapy is confidential, with certain exceptions that will be explained to you before therapy commences.

Fees

Please make contact to discuss fee options.

Medicare rebate

With a GP referral and Mental Health Care Plan, Medicare will rebate $87.45 per session, for up to 20 sessions in a calendar year.

Private health insurance

A partial rebate may be available through private health insurance. It is best to contact your insurance provider to discuss whether your policy has psychological counselling extras. Rebates through private health insurance are not available on consultations where a Medicare rebate is being claimed.

Payment

Payment is required on the day of your session. Payments can be made by EFTPOS, credit card, or bank transfer.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel your appointment, please make contact no later than 24 hours prior to your appointment. This is to ensure sufficient notice to offer this time to other clients also in need of support. A fee applies for late cancellations.
