We want to let you know about some changes to our fees, starting 1 July 2026. We are sharing this now so you have time to understand the changes and prepare, and so you can ask us anything you need to.
We review our fees once a year so we can keep supporting you with the care you deserve. We have kept this year’s changes as small as we reasonably can, while continuing to invest in quality services and support for you.
To put our fees in context, the Australian Psychological Society recommends a fee of $318 for a standard session in 2026 to 2027. Our fees stay well below that. Keeping good psychological support within reach for our community matters to us.
If you use Medicare
If you have a Mental Health Care Plan referral from your GP, you can claim a Medicare rebate. You pay us the session fee, and we process the rebate for you, which goes straight back into your bank account. The table below shows your out-of-pocket cost from 1 July 2026.
| Service | Session fee | Out-of-pocket cost |
|---|---|---|
| Registered Psychologist | $200 | $98.45 |
| Clinical Registrar | $220 | $118.45 |
| Clinical Psychologist | $290 | $140.95 |
If you use private health insurance
If you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim a rebate through your fund. Please check directly with your insurer to see what you are entitled to.

If you are not sure which fee applies to you, just ask. We are always happy to explain.
A reminder about cancellations
This is also a good time to remind you of our cancellation policy. When an appointment is missed or cancelled at short notice, that time cannot be offered to someone else who needs it.
If you need to change or cancel, please tell us at least 2 full working days before your appointment. Weekends and public holidays do not count as working days. For example, if your appointment is on a Monday, please tell us by the end of Wednesday the week before.
If you tell us too late, or you do not attend, the full session fee applies. You can read the full policy, including the day-by-day guide, on our pricing page.
Questions are welcome
If you would like to talk about your fees, your options, or about anything in this update, please call our friendly reception team on (02) 9727 7752.
As part of our ongoing care, this blog article also serves as a reminder of your informed consent, to confirm you continue to understand and agree to our service terms. You can view our service terms here.
