Consistent attendance at appointments is part of helping you achieve your goals.  Your psychologist spends a substantial amount of time preparing for your appointment to ensure the best possible outcomes for you. 

We ask that you only make appointments that you intend to keep. When you book, the session time is set aside and the fee attached to that session will also be yours, whether or not you choose to attend. If you do not attend, it is not possible to apply the Medicare rebate and the entire session fee will be charged. 

If the appointment time is no longer suitable, it is important to let us know as soon as possible. To avoid paying the session fee you will need to let Admin know 24 business hours prior to your appointment. If your appointment is on a Monday, this means providing notice on the Friday before. 

Alternatives to attending in person:

i) You can change your appointment to an online or telehealth session, or

ii) You can request that your psychologist use this time to write a report to a third party, fill in a form, or complete some research on your behalf.

If you suspect you/your child will be too unwell to attend your session the following day, then please err on the side of caution and reschedule your appointment, with more than 24 business hours notice.

If your appointment can be filled with another client on the waitlist, you will not be charged the session fee.

FEES

All assessments generally include 1-3 history taking appointments, review of past assessment data, completion and scoring of current assessments, report writing, and a feedback session.

Assessments are billed at your psychologist's hourly rate, for time taken to meet with you/your child, time taken to complete the relevant assessments (see approximate times below), and time taken to write the report (if required). 

In order to secure an assessment, a $500 deposit is required which is credited towards the cost of reviewing and scoring assessment questionnaires, reporting writing, and feedback session. 

Please discuss with our admin team whether Medicare rebates apply to your particular situation. Your psychologist will explicitly discuss the exact requirements for your assessment during your first appointment. 

See below for approximate direct contact time for each type of assessment.
