SESSION FEES
Prior to booking an appointment, all session fees and rebates will be discussed with you.
Psychology appointments generally last between around 45 - 55 minutes with session fees charged upon completion of the appointment. We are an electronic billing practice only, and cannot accept cash payment.
While Think.Talk Therapy Services chooses to keep psychology support affordable for more families, our fees also must reflect the quality and comprehensive service we provide, the costs of running a practice and the significant amount of non-billable time associated with each appointment (ie. for clinical record keeping, case conferencing, preparation for sessions, resource development, Medicare report writing etc).
The current cost of a regular session is $225 per 45-55 minute session.
After Hours (after 5:30pm or weekends) and urgent consultations will incur a $50 surcharge fee.
Rebates are only available to clients who have a valid GP Mental Health Treatment Plan (see below). Please note that all fees are payable in full before rebate information is submitted to Medicare for payment.
Think.Talk Therapy Services does not provide bulk billed consultations.
Medicare Rebate Information
To access Medicare Rebates for psychological therapy appointments, please see your GP and ask if you are eligible for a Mental Health Treatment Plan. You may need to indicate to the staff at your Medical Centre that you require a longer appointment for this plan to be completed.
The Mental Health Treatment Plan currently provides rebates through Medicare for up to 10 (ten) sessions per calendar year. GP Reviews (and new referral letters) are required after the 6th psychology appointment, and again after 10 sessions.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we will require at least 2 business days notice. Late cancellations or missed appointments prevent clients who require urgent assistance or who are on the waiting list from being offered a service.
Please call, email or SMS Think.Talk Therapy Services at least 48 hours prior to your appointment to cancel or reschedule. Please note:
- If you do not attend your appointment without notifying the clinic OR you cancel or reschedule the appointment within 48 hours of the scheduled session time, a missed appointment fee equivalent to the cost of your session will apply.
Please note that cancellation fees are not covered by Medicare.
Private Health Insurance
Our services are claimable through private health insurance.
Please discuss your level of cover with your private health insurer prior to booking a session, as the full fee will be charged.
Assessments
NDIS or private health may cover assessment fees. We recommend contacting your NDIS or private health provider to discuss payment options. Below are the assessments we offer:
- Psycho-Educational Assessment
- Cognitive assessment in conjunction with an educational psychology assessment (Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia)
- ADHD Assessment
- ASD Assessment
- Adaptive Functioning Assessment
Pricing is dependent on a number of factors. Contact the clinic to discuss your needs and we will provide a fixed price quote for the assessment, report and any follow up required with third parties (e.g., schools, GP, Paediatrician, etc.).
Please Note: We have temporarily closed our waitlist for new clients requiring regular therapy in 2025.
We are still accepting new clients for psychological assessments on Wednesdays in 2025.
