We aim to keep mental health treatment affordable.
Psychological treatment sessions referred by your GP under a Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) are offered at a lower rate than other services provided through this practice.
National reports continue to show that cost is a major barrier to mental health care. Mental Health Australia’s 2023 Report to the Nation found that 21 percent of people see the cost of services as a major barrier, while the National Mental Health Commission’s 2023 report, Curiosity, Compassion & Care, highlighted how out of pocket expenses can place private care out of reach (p. 24). For this reason, we keep our fees at a reasonable level.
Please use the tabs below to find the service you need and its fee. Standard fees apply to services not accessed through an MHTP.
