FEES & REFERRALS

The standard fee for a 50-minute session is $240. The out-of-pocket expenses will vary depending on the type of referral you use.

​

 

Medicare: Medicare rebates amount to $145.25 per session, leaving an out-of-pocket expense of $94.75 per session, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. If you are seeking a Medicare referral, please speak with your GP to organise a Mental Health Care Plan.

​

 

DVA: Currently serving ADF members or Veterans with a DVA White or Gold Card can access treatment via seeking a referral from their GP. There are no out-of-pocket expenses for this referral.

​

 

Private Health: The rebates you are able to claim through Private Health will depend on your individual health fund and your own level of cover. Please enquire with your fund.

​

 

NDIS: Psychology sessions are available for NDIS clients who are self-managed or plan-managed. In line with the current NDIS price guide, the standard session fee is $232.99 per hour.

​

 

No referral: If you do not have a referral or would prefer not to use one, that’s ok; you do not require one to have treatment. However, you will not be able to claim the relevant rebates for the session costs without a valid referral.

​

 

Cancellation Fees. Note that a cancellation fee will apply if no prior notice is given within 24 hours of a scheduled appointment. Cancellation fees will amount to the full fee of the service. Note that Medicare rebates, DVA, and private health funds do not cover cancellation fees.

​

 

Note. If there are financial circumstances that arise which constitute a barrier to your ongoing treatment, Patrick is open to discussing a lower fee. There is a ‘sliding scale’ fee structure that you may be eligible for and this can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
