Fees

50-minute session: $240 (before eligible rebates apply).

Fees are due on the day of your appointment, and you may pay by cash or direct deposit.

Rebates

Medicare

If you have a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or psychiatrist, you are eligible for Medicare rebate of $145.25 per session, and your out of pocket will be $94.75.

Psychological Reports

If during the course of therapy you request a psychological report to be written, please note that it will incur a fee (one hour of report writing will have a fee equivalent to one hour of psychotherapy). Reports do not attract the Medicare rebate.

Private Health Insurance/WorkCover

If you have private health insurance/WorkCover you may be eligible to receive refunds for psychological services. Please phone your insurance provider to discuss your entitlements.

Private Health Insurance for temporary/student visa holders

You may be eligible to receive refunds for psychological services. Please phone your insurance provider to discuss your entitlements.

I aim to keep my fees below The Australian Psychological Society’s recommended fee of $300 per session.

If you have any questions about fees, please feel free to email your question to El Faro Psychology.
