Psychologist fees | Byron Bay

Below are current fees for counselling and psychotherapy sessions, and ADHD and other assessments, along with information about Medicare rebates and funding under WorkCover, NDIS, and the Victims Support Scheme.

Psychotherapy / Counselling

  • Standard rate. $220 for a 50-minute session.

  • Medicare rebate. You’ll pay $220 up front and then claim a Medicare rebate of $98.95. First, ask your GP to refer you to me under a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

  • Private-health-fund rebate. You’ll pay $220 up front and then claim a rebate from your health fund. First, check with your health fund what they’ll cover.

  • NDIS (self-managed and plan-managed). For self-managed, you’ll pay $220 up front and then claim a full reimbursement through the NDIS portal. For plan-managed, you’ll give me your plan manager’s details and I’ll invoice them. In both cases, your NDIS plan must be approved for psychology or counselling.

  • WorkCover. No cost to you. When you’re discussing your WorkCover plan with your GP, ask to be referred to me.

  • Victims Support Scheme. No cost to you. First, apply for counselling via the Victims Support Scheme website. When you receive a Counselling Approval Letter, contact me to make an appointment.

ADHD assessment & diagnosis

  • Standard cost. $660-$880. That’s $220 for each 50-minute session to do the assessments (it usually takes 2-3 sessions), and $220 for the report.

  • With a Medicare rebate. $462-$583. For each session, you’ll pay $220 up front and then claim a Medicare rebate of $98.95. The report costs $220 and you cannot claim a rebate for this. First, ask your GP to refer you to me under a Mental Health Treatment Plan that requests ADHD assessment.

  • Private-health-fund rebate. You probably cannot claim a rebate for assessments and reports. But check with your health fund.

  • NDIS. You probably cannot use NDIS funds for assessments and reports. But check with the NDIA.
