Fees & Rebates
Below is an overview of my fees, available rebates and cancellation policy
$240 per appointment
Appointments are scheduled for 50–55 minutes. This allows time for the session, as well as the clinical documentation and administrative tasks associated with providing psychological care.
$260 per hour
Assessment fees are based on the time required to complete the assessment, including clinical interviews, testing, scoring, interpretation, comprehensive report preparation and feedback.
Indicative assessment costs:
ADHD assessment: Approximately $2,000
Autism assessment: Approximately $2800
Combined ADHD and Autism assessment: approximately $3,600.
Assessment costs vary depending on the individual's age, assessment requirements and the information needed to develop a comprehensive understanding of their experiences.
Assessments involving children may require additional developmental interviews, parent consultations, school information and assessment measures, which does increase the overall time and cost.
I will provide a quote before proceeding with an assessment.
Medicare rebates may be available for eligible clients with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from their GP or other eligible referring practitioner.
Eligible clients can generally access rebates for up to 10 individual psychological therapy sessions per calendar year, subject to Medicare requirements.
The full appointment fee is payable, with eligible Medicare rebates claimed separately or processed at the time of payment where available.
Please bring your referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan to your first appointment.
Some private health insurance policies provide rebates for psychology appointments under extras cover.
Rebate amounts and eligibility vary between health funds and individual policies. Please contact your insurer directly to confirm your level of cover.
Medicare and private health insurance rebates generally cannot be claimed for the same appointment.
I accept eligible WorkCover Queensland referrals.
Please contact me before commencing to discuss your referral and appointment arrangements.
If you're accessing services through the NDIS, insurance, an employer or another third-party payer, please get in touch to discuss your circumstances and whether an appropriate arrangement can be made.
Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, I ask that you provide at least 48 hours' notice. This allows me the opportunity to offer your appointment to someone else.
Cancellations or rescheduling requests made with less than 48 hours' notice, including missed appointments without notice, will incur a cancellation fee of 50% of the scheduled appointment fee. ($120)
I understand that unexpected circumstances can happen. If something unavoidable arises, please get in touch as soon as possible.
Please note that cancellation fees are generally not covered by Medicare, private health insurance or third-party funding arrangements and are the responsibility of the client.
