Appointments & Fees

Standard consultations are 50-60 minutes in duration, at a time and frequency agreed upon after the initial assessment stage. Extended consultations of 80-90 minutes are sometimes also offered as well, depending on the type of therapy and specific agenda. It is best practice that the scheduled appointment time is consistent and regular, as this provides a sense of reliability and continuity that is essential in effective psychotherapy.

My fees are as follows (as of 1/1/2026)

Individual Therapy Sessions are $265 per 50-minute session, or $370 per 80-minute session.

The Australian Association of Psychologists’ recommended rate for 2025-2026 is $330 per standard session. I aim to provide accessible and affordable services lower than the current recommended fee.

Please note that I do not offer bulk billing.

Please contact me to organise an appointment or to discuss any questions or concerns.

Rebates

You can choose attend therapy privately, or be referred by a GP or Psychiatrist. If you choose to attend privately, you do not need a referral.

Medicare

If you are eligible, you can be referred under a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or Psychiatrist. A referral under Medicare's Better Access Scheme will enable you to receive a Medicare rebate of to $145.25 per session, up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Please note that Medicare rebates will not cover the full cost of your appointments; and your referral must be dated on or before your first appointment in order for you to claim the rebate.

Other pathways covered by Medicare include the Eating Disorder Treatment Pathway or the Enhanced Primary Care Plan. Please speak to your treating medical practitioner for eligibility criteria and more information.

NDIS- National Disability Insurance Scheme

I also accept clients under the National Disability Insurance Scheme who are self or plan managed. Please contact me for more information or to organise a service agreement under the NDIS.

DVA- Department of Veterans Affairs

With a valid DVA referral from a GP or Psychiatrist ex-serving military personnel are eligible for clinical psychology services.

Health Insurance

If you choose to access psychotherapy without a referral, you may still be eligible for partial reimbursement of your sessions via your private health insurance. Please check with your insurer regarding coverage.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to keep an appointment, at least 2 business days (48 hours) notice is required. Notice must be provided during business hours, and cancellations are not accepted over weekends.

Cancellations within 24-48 hours will incur a fee of $150

Cancellations with less then 24 hours or are missed entirely will be charged in full.

Repeated late cancellations or missed appointments may lead to review or discontinuation of services. Payment for missed sessions is required before attending any subsequent sessions. This charge is not claimable through Medicare, Private Health or Insurance.

If you are unable to attend your appointment in-person, consider an alternative arrangement such as doing the appointment via another format (e.g., telehealth). If you have circumstances outside of your control preventing you from attending your appointment, please notify Anne as soon as possible.
