Fees
My rate is $220 for a 60-minute appointment of individual therapy. The first assessment session will be a 2-hour appointment.
Clients may cancel or reschedule their appointment at any time, provided 24 hours notice is given. If you fail to attend an appointment or reschedule with less than 24-hours notice, a fee of $110 will be charged.

Medicare Rebates
Medicare provides a rebate of $96.65 per session with a general psychologist for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
To be eligible for the rebate, you will need to book a long consultation appointment with your General Practitioner (GP) and obtain both a Referral Letter and a Mental Health Care Plan. If you are referred by your psychiatrist, only a referral letter is needed.
In order to receive the rebate, a referral letter from your GP must be sent to me prior to your appointment or brought with you to the initial consultation.
A re-referral is required after the number of sessions on your initial referral is exhausted.

If you don't have a MHCP and want to be entitled to medicare rebate from your first session, you will need to see your doctor first before our first appointment. If you already have a MHCP, you just need to send it to me prior to the appointment or bring it with you on the day.
