These include relationship issues, pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum, parenting, separation/divorce and self-esteem issues.

​

The session fee is currently set at $180 per session (for a 50 minute session). This is well below the current recommendation from the Australian Psychological Society (APS), which is $300 for a 46-60 minute session. 

 

Clients who have obtained a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan can claim 10 sessions through Medicare per calendar year. If a Mental Health Plan is in place, the Medicare rebate is $98.97/session, with your out-of-pocket expense being $81.03/session. You will be invoiced the full fee prior to your appointment, with payment required in full to confirm your appointment. We will process the Medicare Rebate on your behalf the day following your appointment.  

 

Alternatively, if you are with a Private Health Fund, depending on your level of cover you may be able to claim with them. We will provide you with a receipt of your payment. NDIS funded clients are also welcome.
