Individual Sessions
Individual consultations are usually around 50 minutes. If you have a mental health care plan from your GP, you will be reimbursed $126.50 from Medicare for each consultation session for up to ten sessions per calendar year. You may also be able to claim reimbursements from your private health insurer. Each practitioner at APC have set their fees well below the Australian Psychological Society recommended rates which are currently $251 per session.

Cancellation/Non Attendance Policy
Like most health related businesses (like dental, physiotherapy or medical practices), most clinical psychology practices charge a fee for late notice cancellation or non-attendance. At APC, all practitioners charge a fee for late cancellation within 48 hours. Speak to your psychologist for details.
Psychological Testing
Your psychologist may 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.
