Appointments & Fees

Appointments

Standard consultations are approximately 50 minutes and may involve individual child, joint parent and child, or family sessions. I encourage parent involvement for at least part of each session, wherever appropriate. I will discuss with you and your child what you are both most comfortable with and structure sessions accordingly. 


I currently offer face-to-face and telehealth (online) appointments on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. 

To book an appointment please contact me. ​

 

Fees

All accounts are to be paid in full on the day of the consultation

A standard 50-minute clinical psychological consultation is $210. This fee is reduced to $68.15 after the Medicare rebate of $141.85 is applied with a current referral with a Mental Health Care Plan. A referral can be provided by a GP, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist.

The Medicare rebate can be processed at the time of payment for deposit the into your savings or cheque account lodged with Medicare. 

Formal report writing, if required, will incur additional charges (not covered by Medicare).

 

Cognitive Assessments will require a minimum of 3-4 hours of consultation (charged at the usual consultation rate of $210/hour), in addition to the preparation of a comprehensive report costing an additional $550+GST (not covered under Medicare). Most assessments require a minimum of 3 sessions including an initial information gathering session, a 1-2 hour assessment session, and a feedback session. 

Cancellation Policy

A cancellation fee of $70 applies to appointments that are unattended or cancelled/rescheduled within 24 hours of the appointment time. Medicare and Private Health insurance will not cover cancellation fees. If unable to attend an appointment, please provide as much notice as possible so that the appointment can be offered to someone else.

 

If you or your child are unwell on the day of your appointment, please contact me to request a telehealth consultation..


Private Health Funds
Private Health Fund rebates for psychological services are provided by most health funds under their ancillary/extra tables. Your level of private health cover will determine your eligibility for a rebate. Please contact your health fund directly to determine your cover. Please note, Private Health Fund rebates can not be used for Medicare rebated sessions.
