Fees & Rebates

The recommended fee by the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi) for a standard 40 - 60 consult is $330. (Click here to view).

However, at ASK Psychology, we strive to provide accessible psychological support with the following fees:

Registered Psychologists: 

Standard (50 minutes): $240 - $250

Extended (80 minutes): $360 - $375

Clinical Psychologists:         
Standard (50 minutes): $285

Extended (80 minutes): $400

Note: Extended consults (80 minutes) - typically for Intake sessions, EMDR Processing sessions or as requested. 

Medicare rebates apply if you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan/ GP referral. (Please read below for rebates).

You may visit your GP and ask to be assessed for a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). If you are, they will provide you with this MHTP and can refer you to us. The referral can be directed to ASK Psychology. Referrals sent via email is preferred. Alternatively, you may bring the hard copy along to your first session. 

Please ensure that your MHTP is signed and dated by your GP and must state the number of sessions you are being referred for (up to a maximum of 6 sessions in any single referral).

Following these initial six sessions, you may visit your GP and request a Mental Health  Review to determine whether you qualify for an additional four sessions.

In total, a MHTP enables you to access 10 Medicare rebate-able sessions in a calendar year. 

As of 1 July 2025,  medicare rebates under a MHTP are as follows:

$145.25 per 50+ minute individual consultation with a clinical psychologist, or $98.95 per 50+ minute individual consultation with a registered psychologist. 

Unfortunately, we do not bulk bill. This means there is an out- of- pocket gap fee (i.e., the difference between what we charge and the Medicare rebate). Please feel free to contact us if you would like further clarification regarding the fees. 

If you do not hold a Medicare card (i.e., you are an overseas student or overseas worker covered by OSHC or OVHC) you may still be entitled to the Medicare rebate with a MHTP from your GP.  Please contact your insurance provider to clarify this with them. 

You do not need a referral to make an appointment, and you can self-refer. However, you will not be eligible to receive a Medicare rebate. If you have a Private Health Fund, you may be able to claim a rebate from them if you are covered for this. The rebate would depend on the company rebate policy and your level of insurance coverage. It is advisable that you contact your private health insurer directly to determine the exact rebate you are entitled to for psychology consultations.
