What to expect at your psychology session
During your initial appointment you will meet your therapist for the first time. During this first appointment your psychologist will get to know you, your goals and your concerns and will develop a plan to work towards together. Many people experience anxiety when they are attending a psychologist for the first time, please remember we are here to support you and make you feel comfortable. Some people find it helpful to write some notes down beforehand to discuss – this may include goals or concerns and/or issues you are struggling with.

FEES & FAQS
How to Book
You can call reception on 07 5535 2474 or book online here.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
You do not need a referral to see our Psycholgist’s. However, to be eligible for medicare rebates you will require a Mental Care Plan from a GP. If you have one, this must be brought to your first session.
How does a mental health care plan work?
Mental Care Plans currently allow for a total of 20 subsidised sessions with your psychologist per year. You will be required to see your GP who will initially refer you for 6 sessions. After the 6th session you will be able to obtain a review from your GP, which will give you access to the further subsidised sessions. Mental Care Plans are valid for 1 years from the date it was written.
How Long is the appointment?
Appointments are 50 minutes.
Fees & Medicare Rebates
Our individualised psychology sessions with one of our psychologist’s are $185. A Medicare rebate of $88.25 applies with a Mental Health Care Plan issued by your GP (this must be brought along to your first session).
*The Australian Psychological Society recommended fee for standard consultations (50+ mins) with a Psychologist is $260.00. We continually strive to make our services as affordable as possible for our clients.
Do You Accept Private Health Insurance?
Every policy is different. So it is best that you call your insurer to determine your level of coverage. We have HICAPs facility on site, so we will be able to process this at the time of payment for you so you will only have to pay the gap. Please note: you can not use both medicare rebates and private health insurance in one transaction – you will have to choose one or the other.
Do You accept work cover?
Yes we do. Contact our receptionist today.
Do You Offer Online Sessions?
Yes we do. We offer these via video – if you book an online consult you will receive a video link to join the appointment online during the session. Session fees and rebates are the same.
Cancellation Policy
Our appointments are extremely valuable. If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment please do so at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid paying our cancellation fee. This will enable us to provide the appointment to other clients in need. Our cancellation fee for under 24 hours notice is $70, no shows are the full fee of $185.
