Recommended Fees For Psychologists
The Australian Psychological Society recommends that psychologists charge $318 for a 50 minute individual session. The Australian Association of Psychologists recommends a fee of $330 for individual sessions and $396 for relationship therapy. I am committed to keeping fees lower than this so that therapy is more accessible.
My Fees As at 27th of March 2026:
$290 for individual therapy. The Medicare rebate is $145.25. Alternatively, you may be able to claim a rebate through your private health insurance.
$320 for relationship therapy. There are no Medicare rebates for relationship therapy, but you may be able to claim through your private health if they cover relationship/couples therapy.
There is a $20 surcharge for after hours appointments, and a $20 additional fee for relationship therapy when there are more than 2 people attending. Fees can be paid by credit card prior to or during the session. There are no hidden additional fees (e.g. no GST is added and no additional fees for the credit card transaction are added).
Cancellation Fees
If you cancel a session with fewer than 24 hour’s notice, you will be charged half of your session fee. If you completely miss your session without letting me know that you can’t make it, you will be charged the full session fee. There is no Medicare rebate for the cancellation fee – it is entirely out of pocket.
Length of Sessions
Sessions are usually 50 minutes, but some people prefer longer sessions and I am happy to have more time with you. Longer sessions will be pro-rated at the above rates. Supervision sessions are the full 60 minutes.
Medicare Rebates
I am a registered Medicare provider.
If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan, and your GP has written a letter referring you to me for psychological support, you are eligible for Medicare rebates of $145.25 per session for 6 sessions. After the 6 sessions, I will write a letter to your GP, and they will assess whether you would benefit from a further 4 rebated sessions after that (up to a total of 10 per calendar year).
You will need to be able to pay the full fee initially, and then in most cases I can put a claim for the rebate through to Medicare online for you, and if your bank details are registered with Medicare, you would receive the $145.25 rebate in your bank account a few days later without having to do anything else.
Private Health Insurance Rebates
If you have private health insurance, you may be eligible for rebates from your provider (for non-Medicare sessions). Some people choose to use these after they have exhausted their Medicare sessions. Please check with your private health insurance provider to see if they cover sessions with a psychologist.
Fees for Supervision
Supervision fees are the same as for individuals. Supervision sessions go for 10 minutes longer to make up the full hour for your records, but I just charge the regular 50 minute amount.
NDIS, Workcover, DVA
I’m not able to provide DVA or Workcover sessions, and my NDIS spots are full, and the waitlist for them is closed.
