Referrals and Funding
You do not need a referral to access therapy or assessment services,
however, access to certain funding streams requires a referral as detailed below:
Therapy
Medicare
For valid Mental Health Treatment Plan holders, a Medicare rebate of $145.25 per session applies. Medicare rebates are processed at the time of payment.
In the case of late-notice cancellations, you will be responsible for payment of the fee as this is not covered by Medicare.
Note there is an out-of-pocket expense for MHTP clients as I do not bulk-bill.
Private health
Please ensure that you are covered for Psychology before booking an appointment. Full payment is required at the time of the appointment ( I do not have HICAPS facilities). You are then responsible for submitting the claim to your health provider directly.
Private Fee
You are responsible for full fee payment and no rebate is available.
Assessment
Medicare
24-year-olds and under may be eligible to access up to 4 Medicare rebated sessions when referred by a paediatrician or psychiatrist for assessment of Autism.
No Medicare rebate is available for assessment for adults aged 25 years and over.
Private Health
Check with your fund if they provide partial cover for psychological assessments.

Assessment
*Prices apply to standard interview times. Additional time may be required for complex cases needing deeper evaluation (e.g., personality disorder, bipolar, eating disorders) and is billed at the standard consultation rate. In this case, you will be informed as soon as possible.

If, after gathering more information during the intake appointment, it is determined that a full assessment is not necessary, you will only be charged for the time spent on the interview.
