The cost of consultation for an individual, usually around 50 minutes, is currently $190. If you have a mental health care plan from your GP, you will be reimbursed $124.50 from Medicare for each consultation session for an individual for up to ten sessions per calendar year. If you are in hardship you may be eligible for a further discount. You may also be able to claim reimbursements from your private health insurer. Fees are set well below the Australian Psychological Society recommended rates. The following table shows the amount you will pay (patient contribution) if you are coming under a mental health care plan from your GP.
Cancellation/Non Attendance Policy
It is a requirement that you give at least 48 hours notice for cancellation. As of January 1st 2019 cancellation with less than 48 hours notice will attract a $90 fee which will need to be paid before you can reschedule. Cancellation fees are not covered by Medicare.
Corporate Consultation / Court Fees
Corporate consultation fees are currently $251 per hour including face to face meeting time, travel time (court only), report writing time, administration, phone consultation or waiting time (court only).
Psychological Testing
APC Psychologists will sometimes suggest using various measures or tests to assist with diagnosis, monitoring of symptoms or to measure effectiveness of therapy. Many of the tests that we use are free of charge, however some of the more complex or time consuming tests cost money for us to use and therefore have a fee attached to them. You will always be told the fee for any testing up front and have the choice about whether to go ahead with testing or not. If you would like a report from any testing completed, you are able to request one and will be advised of any cost involved before a report is created.
