Our Approach to Fees
At Sure Psychology, we believe in transparency. The cost of your service will depend on the type of appointment, the psychologist you see, and whether your service is privately funded, Medicare-supported, or referred by a third party.
Our fees reflect the time and expertise required to provide high-quality, evidence-based psychological care, including treatment sessions and comprehensive assessments.
Schedule of Fees for Private Paying Clients
Individual Treatment Services (50+ minute appointment)
- Clinical Psychologist / Clinical Neuropsychologist: $290
- Registered Psychologist: $240
- Provisional Psychologist: Please contact our clinic
Individual Assessment Services (hourly rate + GST)
- Clinical Psychologist / Clinical Neuropsychologist: $318 – $467
- Provisional / Registered Psychologist: $135 – $318
Medicare Rebates
Many clients are eligible for rebates under the Better Access Initiative. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you may receive:
- Up to 10 rebated sessions per calendar year
- A review with your GP after the initial course of treatment
- Rebates applied directly at the time of payment via Medicare EasyClaim
Current Medicare Rebates (per 50-minute appointment)
- Clinical Psychologist: $145.25
- Registered Psychologist: $98.95
Please note: Clients seeing a Provisional Psychologist are not eligible for Medicare rebates. Our gap payments are structured to ensure fairness and affordability.
Rebates Through Private Health Insurance
Some private health insurance policies with “extras cover” may also provide rebates for psychological services. Coverage varies depending on your provider and policy, so we recommend checking with your fund before your first appointment.
Please note: You cannot claim both Medicare and private health rebates for the same session.
Fees for Third Party Referred Clients
Fees for Third Party Referrals e.g., Insurers, Employers, Legal Services:
Our fees for third-party referred clients (such as through insurance, workplace programs, or medico-legal services) align with the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended hourly fee.
- APS Recommended Fee (current until 30 June 2025): $318 per hour
- Cancellation Fees (APS guideline):
- 0–24 hours notice: Full fee
- 24–48 hours notice: 50% of fee
- 48 hours – 7 days notice: 25% of fee
- 0–24 hours notice: Full fee
Invoices are provided directly, with payment terms of 7 days via EFT.
Payment Methods
- Private Clients: Payment is due on the day of your appointment. We accept EFTPOS, credit card, and cash. HICAPS and Medicare EasyClaim are available for instant rebates.
- Third Party Clients: Invoices are sent directly to the referrer or insurer with agreed payment terms.
Cancellation & Non-Attendance Policy
We understand that life happens. If you cannot attend your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice.
- Standard Appointments: A $75 cancellation fee may apply for late notice or non-attendance.
- Assessment Services: Due to the longer nature of assessments, cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur additional fees, including travel if applicable.
A late cancellation or non-attendance is a loss for three people:
- You – delaying your progress.
- Another client – who may have been waiting for an appointment.
- Your psychologist – who has prepared time for your session.
