Please contact us directly to discuss assessment fees for IQ, learning/achievement, adaptive behaviour and behavioural ratings for ADHD to get a accurate quote as the fee depends on the complexity of the referral. Medicare does not generally provide rebates for assessments but private health fund may cover some costs. Please check directly with your fund.

Medicare: individuals will need a referral from a GP to access Medicare rebates. The Medicare rebate per standard session for a clinical psychologist is $129.55.

Most private health funds offer rebates for psychological services and if you are a private client no referral is needed.

If you or your child have a self-managed NDIS plan, you will be charged the standard fee and given a receipt to claim back from the NDIA. If you or your child are plan-managed, we can send the invoice directly to your NDIS provider to cover the session cost. We cannot currently see NDIA- managed clients.
