Session Fees

As of 1 July 2025, the consultation fee for individual therapy is $200 per session.

Private: You can pay privately for your session, you do not need a referral for Psychology services.

Medicare : If you have a Mental Health Care Plan/referral from your GP or Psychiatrist , you can gain a Medicare rebate for 10 sessions in the calendar year, currently set at $98.95 per session, so your out of pocket expense is $101.05 per session. You do need to pay the full fee and then rebate is processed directly into your account. If you need guidance on how to gain the plan, please get in touch with me.

With a Medicare rebate of $98.95 , as of 1 July 2025 the session cost is $101.05 out of pocket to you.

Private Health : You may be eligible for a rebate from your private health insurer, please check your policy. I will provide a valid paid invoice receipt with the required information for you to claim.

Please know you cannot claim both Medicare and private health for the one session – Please advise your preference at your session.

Reduced rates, including bulk billing may be made available due to circumstances or time, at my discretion. A portion of my client load is bulk billing. My fee is substantially lower than advised by the APS (Australian Psychological Society) to support my clients and their ongoing therapy.

Medicare Rebates For Psychology Services

Clients of Pinwheel Psychology may be entitled to a rebate for their therapy session of $98.95 under Medicare. This rebate is applicable under a Mental Health Care Plan and means your session cost is $101.05 out of pocket. I will require your details (as per my intake form) to rebate you, which includes your bank account and Medicare card details. To receive a Medicare rebate, you will need to be referred under a Mental Health Care Plan by a General Practitioner or Psychiatrist.

The out-of-pocket expense will count towards your Medicare Safety Net. If you have reached the Safety Net amount Medicare will rebate you 80% of the out-of-pocket expense.

Medicare offers a rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year in conjunction with your GP.
