Fees per Session
The cost of treatment sessions is $220.00 per session, which is lower than that recommended by the Australian Psychological Society. Fees are payable at the time of consultation. Accepted forms of payment include Cash, EFTPOS, Visa, MasterCard, and Bankcard.
You do not need a referral for an appointment (unless you are coming under the Medicare scheme) – so just call 1800 AMICUS (1 800 264 287) about appointment times.
Cancellation fee
If you need to cancel or change an appointment, please give at least 24 hours notice or a cancellation fee will apply. This policy is in place to allow us to offer the allocated time to another client who is on a waiting list for an appointment.
Medicare Rebate for Psychology Service
Medicare will cover $137.05 per one-hour session for a maximum of 10 sessions per calendar year if you have a referral (Mental Health Treatment Plan) from your local doctor. This means you are only paying $82.95 per session for specialist professional assistance. You must bring a copy of the Mental Health Care Plan to your first appointment. Please feel free to email us if you require more information about Medicare rebates. If you already have a Mental Health Treatment Plan referral to another clinician, it is fully transferable and there is no need to get another plan.
