A standard session is 45 to 50 minutes. The Australian Psychological Society recommends a fee of $300 for a 45–60-minute session.
There is no bulk billing. However, your GP can actually refer you to 10 subsidised sessions.
If you have a Mental Health Care Plan, your sessions are subsidised by Medicare.
This means that Medicare covers a portion of the cost, while you pay the remaining amount.
For normal sessions without Mental Health Care Plan, I often offer a package deal depending on how many sessions are needed.
At 2Y Mental Health, I charge a session between $200 to $220. If you have Mental Health Care Plan, Medicare gives you back $96.65, so that you only pay between $103 to $123 per session. That’s more than 50% lower of the industry’s rate! If you can’t access to Medicare, I am also here to help you in the most cost-effective way.
