Our Fees
The national peak bodies, the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. (AAPi) and the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommend a fee of $311 for a 50 minute session.
We have set our fees for those paying privately under these recommendations to make them more affordable.
All fee prices listed are for a standard 50 minute session. Longer session times can be requested or may be recommended for certain treatment types or situations.
IN-PERSON & TELEHEALTH
We provide both in-person and telehealth appointments. Telehealth means you have the option of having your appointment by video or phone. While most people choose to have appointments in-person, we’ve found telehealth to be an effective and flexible way to continue psychology sessions when you can’t attend in-person. We use Zoom for telehealth appointments by video.
Regular appointment under a GP Referral
Standard Clinical Psychologist Appointment = $245.16
(Medicare rebate $145.25 – Out of pocket expense $99.91)
Fees for each session are due at the time of the appointment. We collect your card details so invoices can be automatically processed through our secure client management system. We also process your Medicare rebate if you have provided us with a Mental Health Treatment Plan referral from a GP.
Medicare can provide a maximum of 10 rebates per calendar year.
Private Pay
The same fees apply for private pay appointments, however a Medicare rebate isn’t available. Some private health insurers will provide a rebate with a receipt of payment. Please check with your health fund.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Our psychologists provide Therapy Supports under the NDIS. The fees are set and reviewed annually by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and come out of your NDIS Plan (Improved Daily Living).
The NDIS therapy rate for psychology is $222.99 per session and there is no cost or gap fee for participants.
Individual Clinical supervision
$240 (includes GST)
Third-party payers
For sessions paid by a third-party (e.g. workplace, non-government organisation, government department) Fees are in line with Australian Psychological Society (APS) current recommend rate of $311.
Policy for missed appointments, reschedules & cancellations
Medicare rebated and private pay appointments
Our policy for missed appointments, reschedules and cancellations is set in line with the recommendations for private practice from our psychology peak bodies (Australian Association of Psychologists inc, Australian Psychological Society). This policy is necessary to ensure that Together Clinical Psychology can continue to operate as a small business.
If you cannot attend, would like to reschedule, or need to cancel your appointment – you need to give at least 24 hours notice or 100% of the usual fee will be charged. If you give notice within 48 hours, only 50% of the usual fee will be charged. No rebates are paid by Medicare for missed appointments.
