FAQs

  • Fees: 

    Please note the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPI) recommend that Psychologists charge $330 per 40 - 60 minute session in 2025/2026. We are committed to ensuring accessibility of services so have set the rate of sessions below this. Specific session fees for each clinician can be seen on the booking page.

    If you hold a valid mental health treatment plan from your GP, you may be eligible to receive 10 rebated sessions per calendar year. The current rebate for 2025/2026 is $98.95.

  • Please let me Amy know in your first appointment if you are wanting to use a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). We will need to receive a copy of this on or before your first appointment if you would like to receive a rebate for the first appointment, as unfortunately they cannot be backdated.

    The MHCP means you may be eligible for $98.95 rebate per appointment for up to ten sessions.

    If you would like to use a MHCP, please visit your GP before your first appointment. They will complete a plan and a referral letter which you can then send through to us.

  • Yes, if you have private health insurance coverage for psychology you will be provided with a receipt which you can claim with your health insurer.

    Please note that under medicare you can only use either medicare rebates OR private health insurance, you are not able to use both at the same time.

  • To join our online sessions, you'll need a private space where you feel comfortable (being on the couch in your trackies with a cup of tea is more than okay!), a reliable internet connection - ideally through home Wi-Fi with high-speed service like NBN. You’ll also need a device that supports video calls, such as a smartphone, laptop, or tablet. Once we confirm your booking and your preferred time, you will receive a link via email to join the session.

    We’ve chosen a secure teleconferencing system through Coviu to make sure you can easily access our services from anywhere in Australia. While any online system comes with some risks, we’ll talk about them and how we keep things secure during the first session.

  • We know life can get hectic, but your commitment to therapy is really important.

    If you need to reschedule, that’s absolutely fine, and you’ll get reminders for your appointments to help keep you on track.

    Just a heads-up: if you need to cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, there will be a full session fee charged. This is because we are very limited in session availability and when there is not enough notice given we are unable to offer the session to someone who is waiting for an appointment. This will be discussed further in your first appointment and you can ask any further questions before getting started. We appreciate your understanding!
