Fees

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommends a fee of $311 for a 50-minute psychology consultation. To ensure accessibility to good quality and affordable health services for individuals requiring psychological services, the fees charged by the practice has been reduced to $230 for a standard 50-minute session. Out-of-hours (after 6pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays) are charged at a rate of $250 for a standard 50-minute session.

Medicare Rebates

You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $96.65 per session for up to 10 sessions each calendar year, provided you have a referral from your GP under the Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative. Please send a copy of your referral and Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) to info@mindfulpsychologypractice.com.au before your appointment to ensure your rebate is processed smoothly.

Rebates are processed at the same time as your session fee, and the rebate will be deposited directly into your nominated Medicare bank account. Make sure your bank details with Medicare are up to date. For more information on the Better Access Initiative, visit the APS website.

Private Health Insurance

If you are not attending under a  Mental Health Care Plan, you may still be able to claim rebates through private health insurance. Contact your insurer for details on coverage. No referral from a GP is needed to claim under private health insurance.
