Our Fee Structure

psych180 accepts referrals from self-referring individuals and from health professionals such as GPs, Psychiatrists, and Maternal and Child Health Nurses.

Medicare rebates are available for clients referred for treatment by their GP or Psychiatrist. There are different categories of rebate when seeing a Clinical Psychologist and this depends on the type of treatment received (individual, group or pregnancy support counselling). Clients may be eligible for a rebate on a maximum of 10 sessions of psychological treatment per calendar year.

Private health insurance rebates also apply. Please check with your health insurer for details.

Fees are paid in full at the end of each session. The Medicare rebate will be deposited into the client’s bank account via Medicare Easyclaim.

Please contact us directly to discuss fees for treatment further.

Cancellations

While we understand that there are unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from attending a scheduled appointment, we ask that you provide us with as much notice as possible if you intend to miss an appointment.

Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice will be charged a cancellation fee of 50% of the normal appointment fee and this fee will be charged to the credit card on the day of the scheduled appointment. Note that this fee does not attract a Medicare rebate.

We reserve the right to decline booking further appointments in the event that a person has cancelled, or not attended, a number of planned appointments.
