What are your fees?

The standard fee for our counsellors ranges from $100-$220 per hour session.

The standard fee for our psychologists and social workers averages about $200 per hour session.

Each practitioner sets their own fees. On talking to us, we will quote you their standard fees.

 

Do you offer discounts or concessions if I am in financial difficulty?

Yes, we do. While seeking help is a good investment towards your psychological and mental health, we understand that cost can be a factor in getting the help that you need.

If you are experiencing genuine financial difficulty, please ring our Practice Manager when you call and we can discuss a possible concession that may work for you.

 

Do you bulk bill?

No. However, we do offer free counselling with our intern counsellors. In addition, if you hold a concession or health care card, some of our psychologists and social workers may offer very generous concessions. That way you only pay a minimal fee each session.

Can I claim a rebate under Medicare?

If your GP regards you are as having a mental health issue, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year with one of our registered psychologists or mental health accredited social workers. You will pay the full fee and then the Medicare rebate can be claimed back to your bank account, usually within a day or two. If you have an eligible Mental Health Plan, please mention this to the Practice Manager during the booking process.

If you see a Registered Counsellor, you will not be eligible for a Medicare rebate.

 

Can I claim under my private health fund?

There is an increasing number of private health funds that recognise psychological and counselling services as part of their extras cover. Check with your private health fund if you are eligible under your extras cover. The amount you can claim back from the fee depends on your cover.

If you have an eligible private health cover, please mention this to our intake counsellor during the booking process.
