Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
No. You can book an appointment with one of our psychologists without a referral if you are paying privately.
If you'd like to claim a Medicare rebate, you'll need a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your GP or another eligible medical practitioner. For more information about obtaining a referral, click here. Once your plan is in place, we'll process your Medicare claim on your behalf after your appointment.
Some private health insurers may also provide rebates for psychology services. We recommend checking your level of cover before booking.
How much does it cost to see a psychologist?
Our standard out-of-pocket fee for a 50-55 minute psychology appointment is $158.45 (full session fee $260, current Medicare rebate $101.55 as at 1 July, 2026).
We also provide psychology services funded through the NDIS (self-managed and plan-managed participants), Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) and WorkCover WA, with funding arrangements varying depending on your circumstances but in general no out-of-pocket cost applies to clients referred under these schemes.
How long are psychology appointments?
Most psychology appointments run for 50–55 minutes. This allows time for assessment, evidence-based therapy, collaborative treatment planning and clinical documentation.
What can a psychologist help with?

Grief and loss
Anger and emotion regulation
Relationship difficulties
Workplace mental health
ADHD
Autism

Do you provide psychological assessments?
Yes. We provide comprehensive psychological assessments for children, adolescents and adults to help understand the factors contributing to learning, behaviour, emotional wellbeing and day-to-day functioning.
Rather than assessing for a single condition in isolation, our psychologists undertake a thorough assessment process that considers the range of factors that may be contributing to an individual's presentation. Depending on your needs and referral question, this may include consideration of:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism
Specific Learning Disorder (including dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia)
Intellectual Disability
Cognitive strengths and weaknesses
Emotional, behavioural and environmental factors that may be affecting functioning
Assessment recommendations are tailored to each individual and are guided by current clinical evidence, referral questions and professional standards. If you're unsure whether a psychological assessment is appropriate, we're happy to discuss your circumstances and recommend the most suitable next steps.
