Fees
Fees are guided by recommendations from the Australian Psychological Association.
Medicare Rebates
Medicare rebates are available to people with assessed psychological disorders for psychological treatment by registered psychologists under the Australian Government's Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative.
The rebate applies for up to 10 sessions per person per calendar year. In addition to individual sessions, up to 10 group therapy sessions are also available per person, per calendar year. The Medicare rebate is $84.80 per session.
You must be referred by your GP or psychiatrist. Your GP will need to complete a detailed mental health assessment and prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan before referring you to a psychologist. Your GP must also provide you with a short letter of referral to your psychologist prior to your first session. Both the letter of referral and your Mental Health Treatment Plan will be required by your psychologist at your first appointment.
Private Health Insurance Rebates
Most private health insurers offer rebates on psychological services. Rebates vary based on your level of cover and it’s best to check with your health insurer to determine what your rebate would be.
Please feel free to contact Life in Balance if you have any further questions regarding fees or fee schedule.
The scheduled fee is $170 for a 50 minute consultation.
