Fees & Rebates
Medicare Referrals
The Australian Government's Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative allows people with referrals from their GP, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist to obtain Medicare rebates for their psychology sessions. In order to obtain a Medicare rebate, one must have a referral from their medical practitioner.
Registered Psychologist
Standard consultation fees for Medicare referrals (GP Mental Health Care Plans) are $150 per 50- 60 minute consultations. The current Medicare rebate is $87.45 per session.
Clinical Psychologist
Standard consultation fees for Medicare referrals (GP Mental Health Care Plans) are $195 per 50- 60 minute consultations. The current Medicare rebate is $128.40 per session.
Provisional Psychologist
PsychCare Psychology is a host clinic for provisional psychologists. Provisional psychologists have completed their tertiary qualifications in psychology and are undertaking a supervision program to become registered psychologist. Provisional psychologists at PsychCare Psychology work under the supervision of the Principal Psychologist (Dr Dadirai Gara) and are enrolled in a Postgraduate degree in Psychology at a local University.
One does not require a Medicare referral or GP Mental Health Care Plan to see a provisional psychologist. There are no out of pocket costs to see a Provisional Psychologist at PsychCare Psychology.
Private Referrals & NDIS Referrals
No Medicare rebates will be available for Private & NDIS referrals for both therapy and assessments. Full standard consultation fees apply which will be discussed with your psychologist. Private Health Insurance holders with policies which cover psychology sessions may be entitled to a rebate from their insurers. Please contact your Private Health Insurance for information regarding how much you may be entitled to.
