Fees
It’s that time of year, and my practice fees are being reviewed again for Psychology services.
Fees Update from 1 July 2025
Fees were reviewed for Psychology services. Therefore I am providing all new clients with the following fee / payment conditions update:
- $232.99 per standard hour (50-min session + 10 min admin) for all clients.
- Payments will be managed automatically for all new clients via the credit card details you saved to Halaxy. Payments will be processed at the time of your appointment, and for eligible MHCP clients, your rebate will be processed automatically once your payment has cleared.
- All new Self- and Plan-Managed clients will need to be reimbursed by the NDIS. I will email paid invoices to clients for lodgement with the NDIA / Plan Managers.
- I am unable to process HICAPS so will email paid invoices to clients for lodgement with health funds.
- All clients can add and maintain their own payment details via Halaxy’s patient portal.
- All processing fees will be absorbed by VCP when they are processed and cleared on the day.
Fees will next be reviewed again, next year, in June 2026, with an expected increase in July 2026. Any changes will be updated on the website with the date from which they will take effect.
A quick guide resource is available here (credit: this resource has been put together by Daniel Jones and links to the MBS and relevant source).
I believe in providing a psychology service that is accessible but need to balance this with the costs of running a Psychology business in Australia. Thus my fees are lower than the recommended APS fee*. While I am always sympathetic to the financial difficulties of clients, it is important that you understand my practice policies. Thus, prior to engaging my services, you will be asked to consent to the costs of services and billing arrangements. Please email or ask prior to your session to discuss my session fees and policies.
As a Registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar my services may be claimed under a Medicare Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP/MHTP) for eligible individuals. My fees may also be covered for self-managed and some plan-managed NDIS participants (Item 15_043_0128_1_3).
Please note: I do not provide Bulk Billing services.
* The Australian Psychological Society and AAPi National Schedule of Recommended Fees 2025-2026 has the standard 50-minute consultation fee at $330. This is a recommendation only. My fees are currently below this rate, and rely on a strict session policy to remain viable to offer services below this recommended rate.
Therapy session fees
Current rates (as at July 2024) for a standard session of 50-minutes is $222.99. Fees increase to $232.99 from 1 July 2025.
Fees are reviewed regularly and clients will be provided advance notice of any changes.
Please note that late-cancellation and no-show session policies apply to all bookings.
Assessment fees
Assessment fees are generally calculated pro-rata hourly and paid for privately, that is not covered by a Medicare MHCP. For more details on Assessment fees please click here.
Group fees
Group sessions fees vary according to group content and number of sessions. Please speak with Victoria to learn more about groups that may be suitable to you. You may be asked to attend an initial session with me to determine group suitability.
