Medicare rebates are available for individual appointments when you have a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP or Psychiatrist.
The current rebate (2026/2027) per session is $101.55.

Medicare rebates are available for individual therapy appointments only and do not apply to couples counselling.
Private health rebates are also available, however please check with your private health provider first.
Sessions fees are based on the recommended fee schedule provided by Australian Association of Psychologists Incorporated (AAPi) and the Australian Psychological Society (APS). The current recommended fee for a standard 40-60 minute consultation is $330 - $340. The current recommended fee for couples counselling (60 minutes) is $408 and $611 (for 90 minutes).
The recommended fee takes into consideration not just the session time but preparation time, note taking, psychometric scoring, correspondence and other tasks. The consultation fee for couples therapy is higher to given the preparation required and the complexity of conducting therapy with more than one person.

I completely understand that life can be unpredictable and plans sometimes change. However, late cancellations in a small practice have a substantial ripple effect on everyone involved. To improve fairness, reduce last-minute scheduling stress, and ensure that appointments can be offered to those waiting, the cancellation policy is as follows:
No-show or less than 2 hours’ notice: Full session fee charged
Less than 24 hours’ notice: 50% of the session fee
Less than 48 hours’ notice: 25% of the session fee
Please note: Notice of cancellation must be provided during business days and within business hours. Weekends and public holidays are not included in the cancellation notice period.
